In the 70s it was a
metaphor with many
uses.

In Catholic Ireland, a
bun in the oven meant,
pregnant.

But across the Irish Sea,
a bun in the hair was not
an innuendo.

Bunny girls were banned
over here, but I never did
find out why.

There is a castle in County
Clare called Bunratty, near
Durty Nelle's.

Somebody told me that
Nelle ran off to London
with a baker.

When she came back she
she started a small shop
selling Hot + Buns.

Now, there was something
cynically symbolic about them,
supposedly, with aphrodisiacs.
