Nursery rhymes

The Guardian discovers a new nursery rhyme:
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

By Angela Martin, aged 57

Not exactly Byron or Shelley; but it has a certain political flavour (or not).
