In the lunch his wife made
Of yogurt, Spam, marmalade,
'Twas the answer, albeit not kosher.

They were cheap and quite easy,
But often were greasy.
They took as their payment canned Spam.

This choice that you're makin'
In declining the bacon,
Just couldn't be brasher or rasher.

A good serving of liver
Will set me aquiver,
Just like Tom and his organ: Well, didn' he?"

And chittlin's appeal to a few.
You can start with some heart
And end up with the part
That's best shared just between me and you."

But I truly ADORE some good tongue!"

Eating one every day,
Throwing wrappers away,
So to this, they won't have to admit.

Pastry lined with aspic jelly,
Puts a lining in your belly,
By gum, they're so good to eat.

From under the hood,
And he didn't know what it was from.

When the dust cleared, he saw a dead squirrel.
He placed the dead creature
With a long-handled reacher,
In a sack which he stored in the rear well.

The squirrel with veggies and tea!
You may think this one
Was just written for fun,
But the legend needs telling -- by me.

Down the gullet and grips
One with painful abdominal gripe.

Equivalent part of giraffe.

There is no use to ask them for chutney.
You may plea, you may tease,
You may go on your knees.
It will do you no good, they ain't gotney.
--- Richard H Field
Of chutney they keep quite a good stock.
They're more given to gluttony
Than the folk of Ascutney
Who neither of liquors or foods talk.

And steam from his ears,
He'd vow to stop eating hot curry.

Or Paella made by you,
But curry powder makes me sneeze.

And feathers, and some kind of goop.
It's saliva? A swallow?
From nests, then it follows
That this stuff is... Let's ask the group.

Quite literally. There are no words
For the sight of a nest
In a bowl; and the rest
Is disgusting! What are these things? Curds?

Though I'm told that my reasoning's wrong.
I know that a ding
Is the name of the thing
That swings either side of a dong.

Contain oodles of these,
Especially in chicken chow meins.

Both their eggrolls and springrolls in wrap.

Were the testicles (maybe) of poodles.

I said, "That would be nice;
And a pot of your Jasmine Leaf Tea."

And said, "Have what you like on your plate;
But I won't heat the water
To brew up my daughter;
The beautiful Jasmine Leaf, mate."

Employed in his kitchen as porters;
But sweet Jasmine Leaf
Has been causing me grief
From the age of fifteen and three-quarters.
--- Anon
And we often have afternoon tea
In the kitchen while father
Is out and she rather
Enjoys herself sat on my knee.
--- Anon
And she smiles as I start to caress.
She giggles and wriggles
And constantly jiggles
Which causes me trouser distress.
--- Anon
And dampen her ardour and fever
Or give her a suck,
But her father Ho Fuk
Has a fucking good aim with his cleaver.

With their baby, Suc Sum Tit,
Took their Dachshund, Shteppin Schitt,
To get spayed, now he's Fuk No Mo.
