Clanceys Sausage Delight

Sausages, sausages, sausages, An ongoing string, Attached by a swirl and twirl, Now there’s a thing, One runs into the another, How many do you want, For that depends, we have Long ones and short ones, And fat ones and thin, Where do you want me to begin? We have Portuguese and Greek, British, South African and German I offered the last string To someone unique, Who wanted a tweak, Asked if they were fresh and real, She actually had a feel! The German ones are spicy, And the Portuguese pricey, How much to you want to pay Me today? Edith replied, I have to say, The decorative way You hang your sausages And mozzarella balls, Make me giggle, They must tickle Your customer’s fancy, What do you say Clancey? Sausages remind me of days In every year, three hundred And sixty-five to be exact, So comfortably compact, One joined to the other, Each one offering spice, color, Taste and adventure, They come and they go, For everyone’s good cheer, Which must be had every Day of each year, Life is but a dream, Over in the wink of an eye, Now Clancey, With which sausage are you going To tantalize me with, my dear?

This is so much fun, Jennifer. A true delight. I'm really surprised that it was not POTD - but it certainly is Poem of MY Day! Thank you for the treat. Tastes great! ~ Essen un fressen. (German/Yiddish for eating and pigging out a bit).

Your sausages delight poem is deliciously witty and suggestive, Jenny. I'll have to come to your shop and see with my own eyes what you have on show. ~ Enjoy the weekend, my friend. Warm regards & hugs // paul

Thank you for a cute comment and, you are welcome, that is if the shop is not closed down before, judging from the objective silence and non appearance of comments from all my lady friends. Warm regards, hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Jennifer, you should be pleased with your effort. This is a great sentiment as well as the many sausages and days of the year. In keeping with the theme of sausages, I guess Clancey kept the oddest for the last line in your piece.

What did your husband say, Jenn. After he speaks, I'll have an appropriate comment ( South African Cooly Sausage! But typos reduced our years to 165 days. Blame the sausages - no one can work 365 days a year. No time to enjoy such a variety of sausages. So "there hundred and sixty five days ... "

Hi Thank you for your unwavering support my friend, and as for bangers, with a creamy mash and mushy peas, it is one of our faves, I am half English after all! Blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Bill thanks for a fun comment - I have always thought of strings of sausages that go on forever, as do our days in every year, for which we are ever grateful. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer

What a great poem Jennifer, and it’s well strung along on a nice even tempo like all sausages should be, hope Clancey saved the most exotic ones for your last line, cheers David
