.4. Best For The Rest Poem by David Threadgold

A pound of best back bacon
At my counter stood a crowd
The customer had mentioned best
Which I repeated loud

The crowd all turning sideways
To see the best back served
Some nudged their partners knowingly
This back they to deserved

I called my bacon slicer
More best back if you please
A rush was now expected
So I resumed my tease

A whisper to my customer
So pleased you know the best
Heard by all the others
Who now bought all the rest?
