Just to see or hear this word makes my mouth water

They're called Toutons up the shore and parts of Newfoundland other

Posies are made using leftover bread dough and deep fried in a pan

Oil or butter can be used to fry them or whatever you have on hand

I like mine with pancake syrup or molasses

Others use ketchup or sugar and milk by the glasses

We'd always look forward to Mom making homemade bread once a week

Because it would be Posies for supper that night and oh what a treat

To have a feed of Posies is some "shockin' good"

If I could still have them once a week I surely would~
