Sally Version 4

Sally's stuffing eggrolls in the back room. Filling them with beansprouts in case they have a boom. Hundreds of these eggrolls piled high for later. Boiled in an oil for each and every crater. Some will go behind the glass warming in a pan; shining in their dipping oil, tempting for a span. Placed upon a plate and shimmied to the side; up against some rice that's deep and dark and fried. Dipped into a plum sauce sweeter than a sneer, and spread out on your plate as far as you can smear Flavour by the mouthful damp and moist and wet Sally's making eggrolls the best that I can get.
