Tom & Jerry and the Holey Bread Mystery

TOM & JERRY AND THE HOLEY BREAD MYSTERY

Tom Wilson Jerry Garcia

There’s a place in Scotland called Shieldaig Where a spade’s a spade and a pig is a pig And where Tom bakes bread that his girlfriend will dig But there’s a hole in this loaf though not very big

It got Tom to pondering , how could this be? So he put out some feelers and one got to me It sprung to my mind the similarity What if Tom WAS Jerry what would his answer be

“There’s a hole in my banana bread” Said Jerry García of the Grateful Dead What would then go through his head Perhaps he should’ve stuck to hash brownies instead

A baker in the kitchen would be kneading some dough A pizza chef spinning pies high in a throw But drug-riddled Jerry well what could he know Always high as a kite on his huge stash of blow

So what would have happened - well this is my theory, While Jerry was prepping his loaf he’d get weary And imagine a trip with his old mate Tim Leary All that toking and drinking would have him get bleary

So in tumbles a sugarlump with LSD spiking The bread would heat up but the cube keep from shrinking Til it left this small hole with the sugar dissolving I’m sure Jerry would be happy, all quite to his liking!

Now Tom likes fine wines and the occasional cigar He would walk pole to pole if there was a footpath He might live in the ‘High’lands, but has no guitar And Jerry’s long gone - a spliff far too far!

The banana bread problem is quite easy to fix When blending ingredients just don’t overmix Let’s leave Jerry Garcia in his Heaven noodling licks And Tom in his kitchen baking loaves shaped like bricks
