My Dad

I'm applying for a place in the tent on behalf of my dad
His name's Ben, and if men could be scored out of ten
Then my dad would be nine and a half
He loses half marks 'cause his icing is sloppy his fondant too wet
But I bet, he would be so much better
If he could just get a less wetter technique

But if my dad was on your show, I know he would kill it
People say he's a baking pro, he's definitely win it
But he needs a makeover, bake off, please take over
Stop him from wearing his denim and plaid
Please pick my dad

Hey! I like this shirt, it was my grandad's
You can tell
Well, go on, carry on
No, that's it
No, there's loads more, I can see
No really, its just waffle, honestly
Go on, give it here, it can't be that bad
But unless you've told them about my Elvis impersonation?
Trust me, no one needs to know about that

Dear people who pick the contestants
I need you to know, I'm so worried he's let himself go
Since mum passed away
He spends every day in his shed with his tool kit
I don't!
Yes, you do 'cause mum was the glue, now he's falling apart
Tells his friends he's fine, but I know that's a lie
'Cause I still hear him cry

But if my dad was on your show, you'd see he's amazing
And if mum was still here, I know
She'd stand up and praise him
'Cause my dad did everything
He washed every sock, and he cared 'round the clock
Did his best just to stop her from being in pain

And I know that he'd do it again
So, Great British Bake Off producers says my dad is the best
Hashtag, "Blessed"
And it's true, together we have our fun
But I wouldn't mind if he met someone
Then maybe, he wouldn't be sad
Please pick my dad!

Best wishes and regards
Lily, age nine
