There’s a country called Holland.
Stop this poem and find it on a map.

Ah hello, I see you are back.
It’s also called the Netherlands.
Next door there is a place called Belgium.
Stop again and find that place.

Did you find Belgium? That’s ace!
It’s small too, but important.
Because here in this area
Almost a thousand years ago
Was invented a delicious food
Called the waffle, yeah!
The word wafel was originally Dutch
Because they have their own language
It is a big advantage
To speak it, oh, so much.
In English, we call it a waffle
It is of course a kind of dough
Cooked in a special waffle iron, you know.
You can eat it with sliced apple
Or butter, or chocolate, or fruit
Whatever flavour that suits you, man
Maple syrup, cream, honey, jam
Whatever things you like to chew
If we may stop one last time, we
Can find California on a map
…
…
…
…
…
Aha you have returned, come back
All this running is making me hungry.
