Original Poem Just Desserts I was at my favourite restaurant and had a lovely meal If I finished all my food then a pudding was the deal I’d relished every morsel and was pleased as a Cheshire cat The dessert menu was on its way, Oh I couldn’t wait for that The waitress bought the menus and I rubbed my hands with glee Oh sticky toffee pudding, now that’s the one for me She came to take the order – we had waited as you do She finally turned to me and said ‘oh Madam what can I get you’ Oh stiffy cockie pudding please was my swift reply I didn’t realise what I’d said till I saw the tears form in her eye I went as red as a beetroot and the others began to laugh At my spoonerism which turned into a complete gaffe The pudding it came quickly but I couldn’t wait to leave I choked on every mouthful and my stomach it did heave So please take notice of my error on this horrendous day If you order sticky toffee pudding be careful what you say! 2nd February 2014 This was my first poem posted here and was is my first poem to be published in a book by United Press Response Poem to Just Desserts When I read my ‘Just Desserts’ poem, oh I made such a gaffe I am petrified it will happen again and everyone will laugh At home I have been practicing the correct words I have to say To order sticky toffee pudding again will really make my day We still go to this local restaurant for a tasty treat I love the food they serve, it’s a lovely place to eat But when its time to choose my dessert then I begin to shake After my terrible Spoonerism I can’t make the same mistake I smile sweetly at the waitress who comes to take my choice Then clear my throat gently so I have a steady voice I want to order sticky toffee pudding, the dessert of my dream But I chicken out at the last minute and order an ice cream!
