What’s for tea? I hope it is not the same as
Yesterday. I’m hoping for something nice,
With not too much spice.
Fish and chips would be good, with plenty
Of salt and vinegar. But the fish has to be
In crispy batter or I am going wonder what
Is the matter.
Sausage and mash will do; at least it won’t
Leave me in a stew. But if I really had a choice,
It would have to be chicken tikka masala.
I could always take it and eat it in the parlour, to
save you from feeling hungry. My favourite day for
Eating this dish? Well, it has to be a Monday.
