Bagel

by Charlottei aged 11

bought it from the shop
in each bag six
spin the plastic open
doing professional tricks

take the one on top
crumbing everywhere
I should probably mop
there’s even crumbs stuck in my hair!

slice the baked treat open
revealing crumbly flesh
drop into the toaster
stuck between the mesh

POP! The toaster’s done
I take the bagel out
covered in melted butter
“IT’S MINE!” is what I shout…
