New Nursery Rhyme

[Deimos]

Nothing to do with France, but there was a competition for a new nursery rhyme run by a children’s TV channel recently and the winner was:

Baker Tony's Pizza

Baker Tony baked a pizza

very round and thin

He said he added olives

but he never put them in

The stuff that he had grated

and sprinkled on to please

was only yellow sawdust

although he called it cheese

The rich tomato topping

was nothing more than dye

so Baker Tony's pizza

made all the children cry

It was not a political thing (i.e. Private Eye and the like had no involvement. Apparently, the rhyme was inspired by the Iraq war and the author felt that children should be educated in politics of the Iraq War).

I liked it anyway.

However nice and true the new nursery rhyme is with regards to the state/quality of pizzas sold to the mass market (see the pizza section of your overflowing supermarket freezers)

I somehow fail to see what it has to do with Iraq and the war?

Please educate me on the matter...

Far be it from me to explain the meaning and intent behind somebody else’s poem, but my interpretation would be that she (the author) is making comment about the distinction between what the public were told and what was subsequently found to be the real case (i.e. spin, “clever use of words”, intend to mislead, etc.).

If you post anti-Bliar things on here, SOME people will respond by swearing at you.

They WORK for him, you see....................
