Not fresh

 Hilary found her creamery and ate her bun - a peculiarly arid specimen. There were little black things in it which might once have been currants but were now quite definitely fossils. Not a good bun. Hilary's imp chanted mournfully:

   How bitter when your only bun

   Is not at all a recent one.
