Bake-Off

The bake-off started back in 1949 It was to celebrate a birthday Because Pillsbury was 80 years old A bake-off was the best way Folks threw themselves into baking The most delicious pies and cakes Cookies were so scrumptious These bakers had what it takes And because there were so many People that stepped up to the plate Or the stove, you might say To scrap it would be in haste So they tried it again the next year And again it was a enormous hit The bake-off was just perfect And they decided not to quit Fifty years have gone by, my friend And the rules have not gotten soft Because so many bakers Have participated in this bake-off!
