There’s a country
called Holland.
Stop this poem and
find it on a map.
…
…
…
…
…
Ah hello, I see you
are back.
It’s also called the
Netherlands.
Next door there is a
place called Belgium.
Stop again and find
that place.
…
…
…
…
…
Did you find Belgium?
That’s ace!
It’s small too, but
important.
Because here in this
area
Almost a thousand
years ago
Was invented a
delicious food
Called the waffle,
yeah!
The word wafel was
originally Dutch
Because they have
their own language
It is a big advantage
To speak it, oh, so
much.
In English, we call it
a waffle
It is of course a kind
of dough
Cooked in a special
waffle iron, you know.
You can eat it with
sliced apple
Or butter, or
chocolate, or fruit
Whatever flavour that
suits you, man
Maple syrup, cream,
honey, jam
Whatever things you
like to chew
If we may stop one
last time, we
Can find California on
a map
…
…
…
…
…
Aha you have returned,
come back
All this running is
making me hungry.
