"Your bake-sale comprehensions"

The story:

I used to sing lustily along with Growing Up In Public, of which this song, How do you Speak to an Angel, is one of my favorites. In front of all my friends. They never really said anything. I think they all thought my words were correct. At the time there was a popular saying to the effect that what if all children could get an education but the military had to hold bake sales to build a bomber...so it didn't seem that odd...
