It's universal in Finland and Manchester, 
In rain, snow and bluster,  
And delicious, as always. 
Toppings crinkling around the edges, 
Evolving as it moves around, 
Using the alien spices 
Of distant peoples. 
Bring candles and some matches. 
Let's light the home fires 
And begin the feast in safety.
