I like sausages. 
They never let you down.
You just take them from the packet 
and cook ‘em till they’re brown. 
You can grill ‘em.
You can fry ‘em. 
You can have ’em in a stew
You can eat ‘em on your lonesome 
or make a meal for two. 
I mean, sausages are brilliant. 
They never disappoint. 
You can have them at the weekend 
and skip the Sunday joint. 
You can have them with chips 
or bacon or beans 
with eggs or tomatoes. 
Oh with so many things. 
You can serve them on bread 
or eat them with toast. 
With black pudding and mushrooms 
is how I eat the most.   
And sausages are good to you. 
They’re kind and wish you well. 
They never hurt or tease you 
never laugh and say you smell.
And in your darkest hour 
when you don’t know what to do 
there’ll always be a sausage 
to help you see it through. 
They’ll be there for you in houses 
And they’ll comfort you in cottages. 
My life would just be awesome 
if my friends were more like sausages
