It's summertime
and everyone has brought their
garden's flowers inside
and made a bouquet or two, right?

But how many of you
have a bouquet
of rolling pins?


Oh, the stories
they could tell...
the kitchens they've been in...
the pies they've made!

Gives all new meaning
to the phrase
"rollin' in the dough",
right?
