Contemplations of a Raving Fan: An Acrostic Poem
M May we talk about something for a second?
A All day and night I’ve been dreaming about this bread…
R Really—I can’t seem to get it out of my head.
T This morning I awoke with a deep sense of longing;
I It was as if my bread drawer was calling to me.
N Now I know that’s absurd, but even so…
S Something tells me I’ll never let go of this crazy feeling.
P Pause for a moment and let me explain.
O One taste of this bread changed everything.
T To my friends, it might seem a bit unnerving,
A Always hyper-attentive to the bread I’m serving them.
T They’ll understand sooner or later, I’m sure.
O Once they grasp the importance of a bun to its burger.
R Restart the clock; there’s no time to waste.
O On behalf of those who have yet to taste the golden roll,
L Let me share with you a small piece of advice:
L Little is more satisfying than a nice, juicy burger on a soft, plush bun.
S Signed: a Potato Bread Fanatic.

1955: A Limerick
There once was a family named Martin
With plans for a bakery just startin’.
From some recipes in a garage,
To farmers markets with a Dodge,
A brave new course they were chartin’.
Ode to Mr. Martin
There once was a famous roll baker,
Who received blessings from his maker.
He made the best bread,
And his family was fed.
He became known as a giver not a taker.
Tales of the “Fun Bakery”
There is a little girl named Fannie who likes to have fun.
She loves telling everyone about the story of the Martin’s bun.
The tales that she tells
Are about the rolls Martin’s sells,
And how their hamburger bun became number one!
#RollGoals
There once was a vote in the polls:
Who really had the best rolls?
No one could stop
The winner on top;
Now everyone has “Goals” for Martin’s Potato Rolls.
A Secret to Tell
Potato rolls—your secret would be safe with me,
If you would just share your golden recipe.
It sure would be swell,
And I would not tell;
Just please uncover the great potato rolls mystery.
Potato Roll Recipe
What better day than today,
To give our secret recipe away?
We mix our special dough,
Line the buns all in a row,
Then we bake them and send them your way!
