Orville Redenbacher’s

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
Clever bags
In brilliant colours
Different flavours
Palettes please.
Showtime, white cheese
Salt and vinegar, barbecue.
harder choice with these.

But I miss the old tradition
Messy style
We used to do.
Silver fry pan
Top in tinfoil
Rising til the snack
Came through.
Campfire jolly.
Science folly.
Why the change ?
You dummies, you?
