Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

The Daily Grind

I told him ’bout that silly beard, that he’s not ZZ Top
That he could buy a razor if he visited a shop
He worked here in my butchers store, he’d have to wear a mask
I don’t know why he said he won’t, it wasn’t much to ask
I asked him if he’d nip out back and grind a pound of mince
‘And tie that beard around your neck’, which kinda made him wince
He took a pound of nice lean beef but didn’t tie his beard
And when he took a long long time, some bosses might have sneered
I don’t know why he vanished but I haven’t seen him since
There wasn’t any ZZ Top but there was LOADS of mince

Lindsay Laurie January 10, 2022 at 3:21 PM Hello Terry ... one of the reasons pies are called 'mystery bags' here. I guess in this case, hair keeps the mince together - thanks again Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood January 11, 2022 at 4:20 PM ‘Mystery bags’… I don’t think us Brits would swallow that name… literally! Thanks, Mate. Terry

Rico Leffanta January 6, 2022 at 10:18 AM Enjoyed from title to end! Aloha! Rico Leffanta January 7, 2022 at 10:35 AM Ah, well, you see that, in the USA, GROUND beef is the bits that fell on the ground after being minced . . . . .Aloha! Terry Flood January 6, 2022 at 11:23 AM Aha, quick google… mince beef is ground beef… oh well, guess everyone worked it out. ;-) Terry Flood January 6, 2022 at 11:21 AM Thanks, Rico. Not actually sure that ‘mince’ is an international term. Just crossed my fingers and hoped. Cheers. Terry

Tom Cunningham January 6, 2022 at 2:03 AM No more pies for me, God only knows what's in them. Tom Terry Flood January 6, 2022 at 3:21 AM I’ll make you a nice spaghetti bollocknese, Tom. Fortunately Mr ZZ top ground some mince before he left. Bon appétit. Terry

I guess you’ve been away… I’d worried the trolls had seen you off (I know… I worry too much… that’s just how I am). I’m glad you liked this, I was seriously unsure if it was too obvious from the start. Welcome home. Terry
