BRITISH APPLE PIE ~ WITH CREAM ~ YUMMY !
When you go to a Friend\'s Dinner Party
Or dine out at a Restaurant ~ posh
There are things you expect ~ when the menu inspect
As you contemplate choosing your NOSH !
In the UK we expect ~ four distinct courses
A starter ~ a main ~ and a sweet
And then of course ~ cheese board ~ tour de force
Making our Posh Nosh complete !
I\'ve not mentined the wine ~ an interest of mine
Or Sherry ~ or Brandy ~ or Port
In this poem excerpt ~ the subject of Dessert
Is indeed my uppermost thought !
A nice \"fresh fruit salad\" I include in this ballad
Jam roly poly and tirimasu
Pancakes (with lemon) or ginger with melon
And strawberries and cream to name but a few !
A Starter for me ~ an \"amuse bouche\" I see
To get my digestive juice flowing
The Main (not too big) ~ half a lamb ~ half a pig
Would leave me too full-up and glowing !
Desserts are so good ~ special old fashioned pud
Spotted Dick ~ Peach Melba ~ hot spiced Apple Pie
Smothered in custard (as essential as mustard !)
To please both the palate and eye !
I\'m a MAN ~ so I can eat \'til my shirt buttons burst
Balanced Meal ? I just feel we should always leave room for DESSERT !
