A bagel worth its salt should have
A smattering
of seeds,
‘Cause
sesame or poppy
Is what
every bagel needs.
A
pumpernickel, though, requires
Caraways
mixed in
And those
that we call “everything”
Most always
score a win.
To anyone
who orders “plain,”
I have one
thing to say:
(And do not
get me started
On
blueberries in the way)
I understand
some seed-o-phobics
Think that
they deserve
A bagel in
its purest state,
But what you
might observe
Is most New
Yorkers find that seeds,
And more
than just a smattering,
Are what,
with New York water,
Make our
bagels really mattering.
