I Want My Dinner

Dripping doorsteps or bubble and squeak I ate so much I couldn't speak Apple pie and clotted cream Used to make my taste buds scream. Home made parkin or treacle toffee Steaming mugs of dads camp coffee Corned beef hash or dumplings and stew Onion gravy with a Yorkshire pudding or two. Roast beef sarnies covered with mustard Sherry trifle with banana custard Hot steak pie and mushy peas Cauliflower and melted cheese . Lemon curd tart or angel cake The sausage rolls my mum would make The massive helpings on my plate Turned me into a heavy weight. My mother thought it a wonderful sight To see a child with a healthy appetite After years of dieting I'm now much thinner Though I must admit I want my dinner.
