Win Mary Berry books to celebrate the imminent return of Bake Off

Oh, what to win books by Mary Berry,
It's sure to make my week so merry,
Just waiting to hear word,
That I've come first, not second or third,
Sure to make me happy, so very.

But first a limerick on cake,
Or bread, scones, other things we bake,
So get comfortable, take a seat,
Put the oven on, turn up the heat,
But not too much, for Mary's sake!

So clear your throat, let out a cough,
It's finally time to Bake Off!
Turn down the heat, switch off the oven,
Carefully count your Baker's dozen,
Perfect cakes made to scoff!

(Atrocious limerick, sorry to say,
Most painful post of the day?
Hear collective groans,
Cringing and moans,
But still, the first to lead the way!)

There was a nice lady called Mary
Who thought she'd bake cakes called fairy
To herself she did mutter
I now need some butter
So she trotted off down to the dairy

Are we allowed more than one entry?

I wish i really didn't like cake,
As you can see a fat me it does make,
But the smell in the kitchen when i bake,
Makes me really love eating cake,
But i really wish i didn't for my belly's sake!

There once was a Gran from Wyke
Whose buns her Grandson did not like,
So she took our her gin,
Gave an almighty grin
And now her fresh buns have a spike

TV Mary, a brilliant baker,
Inspired the whole nation to make her
Yummiest pastries and pies!
But sadly we all, girls and guys,
Have grown now so fat we could shake her!

There's a comp to be had for the taking,
If you make up a rhyme about baking.
Sponge cakes or scones,
big or little ones,
all are a joy to be making.
So my cap i do doth, to the British Bake Off,
for making my tastebuds awaken !

There is a bread baker called Paul,
At whose feet the ladies all fall.
A flash of blue eyes
If a cake doesn't rise
And into the corner they crawl!

Thanks

The folk at the beeb said 'Let's bake.
Everything from fruit flans to cake.
We'll get Mary and Paul
A tent, not a hall
And see what contestants can make

The Great British Bake Off is back
Of sweat and tears there'll be no lack
Mel and Sue's witty jokes
Will amuse all the folks
Perfect icing - you just need the knack!

CariGransnet, will there be judging or just a draw for the winner?

A contestant on GBBO
Put all of her goodies on show.
Her buns and her baps
Were released from their wraps
Until Mary and Paul shouted 'Whoa!!!'

After a long day on my feet,
My question is ,"What can I eat?"
The answer is cake
So I start to bake,
A sweet treat that cannot be beat.

We all love to watch the great bake off
How the ratings must soar, it did take off
We all love Mary
Cakes light as a fairy
How I pine when the series does break off

Make a nice cake today.
Try the Mary Berry way.
Add all the stuff that she says you will need,
Mix it all up with a light hand indeed,
But don't eat it all today.

Mary Berry's a marvel - oh my !
Whether custards or flans, sponge or pie,
'Cos the way that she makes
Everything that she bakes
Means that duffers like me have a try!

The last line should read as follows

Make a nice cake today.
Try the Mary Berry way.
Add all the stuff that she says you will need,
Mix it all up with a light hand indeed
It will help you to work rest and play.

The Vicar has asked me to say,
Mary's book wouldn't half make his day.
Our Church Fete needs a prize,
And with cakes, breads and pies,
We could sell Raffle tickets all day !

To bake on the beeb is a thrill
Afforded to entrants who will
Produce cakes,breads and fancies
From their store-cupboard pantries,
To delight and enthral us - just brill!

With sometimes a problem or two
And questions like "what shall I do?",
With dextrous dough-handling
The results are outstanding,
And always delivered "on cue"

Another new series, that's great!
Each contestant awaiting their fate;
From the call of "Let's Bake"
To the show's final take,
It's Great British Bake Off - can't wait!

in the kitchen we see Mary Berry
with recipes handpicked like a cherry
with icing you'll see
we'll all dance with glee
with a cake to make us all merry

The Bake Off is back, hip hooray
This news has quite brightened my day
For Mary's my hero
I'll reach for my Be-ro
And try some cake making her way.

First married my cooking was a mess
Now a Nana it's better I confess
Mary Berry would help me on my way
On my cooking skills day by day
So as a Geordie I say to Gransnet
Would I like?.... Wye Aye Pet !!
