Nouvelle Cuisine

NOUVELLE CUISINE Nouvelle cuisine the waiter said, as he served the food to me Where’s the rest I asked him, as I’d earlier skipped my tea Tiny bits of something on a massive bloody dish I tried to woo my girlfriend by pretending I was swish You can pick the restaurant, was my very first mistake I thought she’d pick our local for some scampi or a steak Instead she chose Pierre’s, which was going to be steep I’d heard the food was lovely though the prices made you weep I gazed upon the menu, which was written out in French And scanned along the prices, which made my buttocks clench To refrain from looking stupid, I ordered some red wine We requisitioned dinner and prepared ourselves to dine A puny bowl of soup arrived, we felt a touch irate We had to eat it quickly or it could evaporate The main course had potato which was hidden by some meat Five al-dente vegetables, all stacked up nice and neat A de-constructed rhubarb tart, that’s what they served us next Though why they took it all apart has left us kinda vexed We left a tip and paid the bill…a pretty hefty fee Then dandered into town and we got a KFC
