Once more I arrived,
Arrived at the hotel.
Been there many times,
Doing business on the morrow.
Had dinner in the evening,
A couple of drinks,
Then to bed,
Need to be fresh in the morning.
Got up refreshed,
Had my shave and shower.
Now came the best part,
Down to restaurant
For breakfast.
Knew the hotel well
And knew what I would have.
Walked in and sat down,
A fellow business man was there,
A stranger to me,
Sitting at another table,
We nodded at each other.
I ordered my breakfast,
“Full English please,
Round of toast,
And some coffee”.
After a little while
Two waiters returned,
Both with trays full of food.
One came to me,
The other went to the other man,
Plates before us,
This luxury on a plate.
I looked at the food before me,
And then almost in unison,
We both said,
“Where’s the Black Pudding!”
