LAMPOONING
(without apologies)
Having invented chopsticks
it makes me wonder why
they never invented custard
oh do please tell me why.
Whatever their mood
there’s truth in the tales
of their scorn for fast food
and their preference for snails.
Leave them alone
leave them in peace
it’s in their genetics
to be obese.
In the hedgerows and
in lederhosen
watch them forage
for the wurst kind of sausage

My first smile of the day Michael, thank you so much.
A fine write Michael lol.Might have to swoon at the last one. You best hope I don't see a hidden meaning in it! heehee.
Hidden meaning? Could be - but only an Orchi could spot it !
Of course, I never read anything with a hint of 'hotness' or 'swooniness'. Fido my 'watchdog' reads them, then warns me away from them!
Though your words have amused me
let me please clearly state
you won't find that cuisine
on my dinner plate
From my very first quiche
to my very last balti
i'm reminded my tummy
soon after went faulty
So bangers and mash
or even toad in the hole
maybe a weetabix biscuit
for my brexit bowl
keep it simple and english
cooking frenchies call plain
but at least i'll survive
to eat it again
I always enjoy your responses - thanks dusk
a superb and fantastic piece. 😀
You are so kind - thanks Crystal
Thank you, Michael. A little humor goes a long way. A witty and enjoyable read to be sure. 🙂
Thanks for posting!
So pleased you enjoyed them.
How's that evening? Cooeee. Aww, I saw over 250 cats at a cat show, a lot of which were pedigree cats.
How can one not like cats?! Awww.
Actually it's cat owners I dislike - well some of them. The ones who open the door and let them roam and cause such anti-social problems. Responsible cat owners exercise them on leads.
Hello Michael.
Excellent write.
Keep writing Michael
