Nina craft bakery
Berkhamsted high street
popular for breakfast
but for vegans not so
nothing at all
described now as savoury
only sickly sweet cakes
which truly does gall
I suggested I’d buy bread
and eat at the table
its was white sour dough
i had no idea
what all of it cost
no prices showing
a pot of mint tea
tap the card
business flowing
they were prepared
to basically say
you are a nuisance
why not just go away
eating sickly sweet cakes
The alternative choice
vegans of the world
you have got a choice
insist on more thoughtful
vegan breakfasts.
