Mary had a tin of spam But found she’d lost the key She sobbed her little heart out It was needed for her tea A meal well planned, The goodies bought Young Mary shed a tear, Spam sandwiches Would not be made, It soon became quite clear With table laid and fayre set out A tempting teatime spread Alas no meat, was there today To lay between sliced bread The guests were due at anytime So, thinking on her feet She came up with a reason For sandwiches “sans” meat The guests arrived at four o’clock Said Mary, feeling edgy, “I’m sorry there’s no meat today I’ve just become a veggie” © John W Fenn 11-08-2009
