Sendup

Can't Jamaica little speed? I asked the waitress. It's Chili outside and I'm Hungary. I told you I'd have tagliatelle. Canton that to fill my belly. I thought I might have Turkey, seeing as it's Christmas. The cook said he Canada that until next week. What a freak! Wine glasses here, Fullum up. I prefer my tea in a China cup. Austin will be joining me. Ohio Loughlin, a friend Oswell. That makes a table Fortree. Silly me, Scotlands too. I forgot about you. Forgive my Eire Scot. The waitress Wales to the Cook "Strait, yet another mate." Please sendup a plate.

Thank you Jan. The first line comes from a poem my father had written at college. He showed me once, long ago. In my mind's eye I can still see the tattered memento he had kept from his youth. The rest of his poem was on a similar vein and much better than mine.

If only I would put my brains to better use Sunlite. I had zero ambition as a teenage student, unlike my three clever clogs, each with their Masters.
