THE MISSING LINK
There are thirty two flavors in chewing gum alone,
And in candy there must be many hundreds more.
Doubtless in cakes, chocolates and toffees
There are thousands with your teas and coffees,
While your dog says he’s got millions on his bone.
Alas, in England, we haven’t any flavors. No not one!
But that’s because we live across the ocean blue.
Where we are forced to spell them flavours,
And so miss everything a Yankee savours,
Daniel Webster, where did you put that bloody ‘u’?
