Old Timer Rhymer Poet Rhyme

They're called Crisps not Chips

Across the Atlantic ocean

They have a pedantic notion

Quip us Brits have a frantic lisp

Did slip..meant to say chip not crisp


Semantic antics causing a commotion

Misunderstand our land’s devotion

To the sensory explosion that is a crisp


So why the linguistic demotion

Respond to across the pond & beyond

Have donned a wig of blonde

Seem fond of being conned 

They need to be told


The reason Brits abscond from the fold

Will break the mould

Skip this blip and let rip

A chip is hot and if not.. is cold 

Such umami gold is actually factually

A crisp!


Our gung ho American foe 

Will still go & crow..

Blimey those slimy Limeys

We’re the aficionado…so no bravado

Must surely know a chip is always

Made I’m afraid of purely potato
(unless I guess if its chips at a casino)


Displayed for trips in dips

Not just crud dud spud chips

Bud..could be made of wheat

Sworn am often torn

Could be swayed by corn


Synthetic aesthetic can’t beat

Heart attack in a pack food p*rn

If Polenta is the mentor.. its a chip

But if some parsnip you did flip

In oil then it is definitely…definitively a crisp


Got a hunch that if for 

Lunch.. earlier at brunch 

Or just for a munch

Thick or thin as a wisp

If it does go crunch

Then it’s crisp


Not being trippy.. dippy or too lippy

Don’t be hasty and haughty

Nothing beats..tasty treats

Seriously salty.. deliriously naughty eats

That's why we say crispy.. not chippy


P.S ..The only crispy beast feast

Where’s there is no hackling

Tackling or shackling 

A snack as a chip or a crisp

No cackling…is when it’s crackling


Oops somehow a new row hatching..isn't 

Fried pig skin..a pork scratching


But Colombian cronies are dispatching

Such phony baloney..there's no matching 

The show ponies that are chicharrones
