The Greasy Spoon
Listen to poem:
The greasy spoon.
Tea by the mug full.
Sugars by the three
the color of canal water.
that's the brew for me.
No muesli or grapefruits.
No croissants to be seen.
Special k you must be kidding
No continental meats for me.
Sausages nice and blackened.
Bacon crispy as can be.
eggs flipped over
No running yolks for me.
No waffles with syrup.
No pancakes piled up high.
Banana's there for monkeys.
These are not for me.
Give me tinned tomatoes
and beans piled up high.
toast with jam and butter
cornflakes bowl piled high
And just to keep it healthy, a fresh orange juice on the side
