FANCY FOOD


FANCY FOOD


Spring lamb,
Runner beans
And quick cook rice,
They’re all very athletic and trim.
Am I fast enough or will I fall?
Dressed crab,
Jacket potato
And ‘pigs in blankets’,
They wear their flavours so well.
Am I smart enough to call?
Battered cod,
Wild mushrooms
And pickled onions,
They are the thugs of the kitchen.
Am I in a bar room brawl?
Potted shrimp,
Jugged hare
And chicken in a basket.
They are so difficult to get at,
Am I going to eat at all?

Phil Hall  April 2013
