They had run out,
Run out of strawberries!
What an absolute disaster,
I could not now have my favourite,
My favourite sweet
In my favourite pub.
No Eton Mess!
What!
We have plums though,
The waitress said,
We could use those.
So I forgave them,
I had a new Eton Mess
An Eton Mess with plums,
Not strawberries,
And very nice it was too.
