Poetry for a wet Friday

Just for a bit of a laugh, I looked up some of my old poems that I wrote years ago for a previous blog- sadly demised due to the webhost going out of business without warning!  It is a grey old day in usually sunny Brisbane so I am catching up on tidying up old files, emails etc.  And with my iphone having been murdered savagely last weekend when someone tried to change the battery, I am having to re-install heaps of stuff and try to remember passwords, and mourn the loss of photos never to be repeated and so on :(.
So here is a wee poem just for a laugh.

Fish and chips:

Fish and chips, baked beans and Spam

Spaghetti on toast, scones and jam

Soups and stews and shepherd’s pies

Hamburgers, Cokes and a large french fries

Sponges and custards and chocolate cake

These are the foods of which I partake

Pate and bread rolls and chilled white wine

A fitting repast for a stomach of mine

Now my belt will not tighten

So my plate I must lighten

It’s farewell to the porridge, fried eggs and ham

And it’s dry toast, skim milk and Weet Bix- oh damn!
