in a flash Santa took off
he has a case of whooping cough
the reindeer are wired
now hungry and tired
they say it is time for beef stroganoff

The elderly couple enjoyed a lovely meal with their dear friends.
The two old ladies get up to do the dishes when the meal ends.
The two men chat, one tells of a restaurant he could recommend.
They had a really nice meal last night, good food not much to spend.
“That sounds great” said one “What’ is this restaurant’s name?”
He thought a while, searching his memory trying hard, but in vain.
He said, “I can’t think, what is that flower the one that makes a chain?”
Oh, said his friend I’m not sure, Is it a daisy or should I think again?
You smile. I guess this means I’m on the right track, did I get it right?
That’s it!“Hey Daisy he called “what’s the name of the place we went last night?”
Same couple planned a dinner. Daisy went to buy sauce for stroganoff.
Asked an employee where it would be. He replied, “I’ll see” and walked off
He didn’t return so she asked another, and she replied, “I’ll see” and went to see.
Daisy was tired of waiting for them to return and found it herself in Isle C .

You take an onion, chop it up real good.
You throw it in a pan under the cook top hood.
You add a little Lowry's and some ground beef.
You have the beginnings to end all your grief.
For half the price you can use ground turkey.
And there are times that come's out a bit quirky.
But be it taco's, helper stroganoff. or S O S.
I'll guarantee that it will be worth the mess.
If others are eating what you have cooked.
If you don't tell them too much, they'll be hooked.
This is where it's important to say grace.
Then, if they don't like it, just get outta my face.
But remember you have to keep the peace.
Because somebody's gotta clean up all this grease.
And it's only fair that it is not the cook.
Yeah, you can bet, you're gonna get a look.
But when the dishes have all been done.
And everyone feels like having some fun.
It's best to not get too excited.
Then maybe you'll get reinvited.

I enjoyed onions for my tea*
With my tum onions don’t agree
Foul wind is departing
I cannot stop farting
alas allium’s make me windy!
I had made beef stroganoff which contained onions and garlic!

A Good Lunch
They didn`t have a good cook at the restaurant
on the first floor, they have got a new one now
and it showed, we had a Stroganoff with rice
it was so good we had a glass of red wine each.
It proves my adage you can make a restaurant
with posh sitting and décor but its reputation
depends on the food served.
In my youth, this was not understood and you
got a resentful, rebellious character smelling
of drinks because he had to serve the cheapest
dish, again and again, this didn`t matter so much
as people came to drink wine and sod the food.

Persuasions offered in their words
Slogans repeated in ways absurd
It must be true on the TV
No biased questions on the news
Political lies and points of views
It must be true on the TV
Reality shows to numb the brain
The masses are easy to train
It must be true on the TV
Poor souls addicted to the soaps
No dignity left and no hope
It must be true on the TV
Some chef made a beef stroganoff
To hell with this I’m turning off
Nothing is true on the TV

One time a stickleback
Asked a tadpole what’s the craic
He replied there’s nothin’ doing
It’s just the water I was viewing
So he slurped a glass of gin
And let the stickleback begin
To swim upside down in loops
Until his eyes began to droop
I’m becoming very dizzy
Feels like the Mississippi
The stickleback then stopped
The tadpole’s eyes had nearly popped
The stickleback said sorry
Do you like calamari?
The tadpole then replied
When I’m swimming with the tide
I find it can be chewy
It turns my tail real gooey
The stickleback said no way
It makes a rather nice buffet
They then said their goodbyes
And the stickleback advised
Calamari you shouldn’t swallow
Or trouble it will follow
Good luck and take it handy
Said the tadpole sipping brandy
The stickleback swam off
To have some beer and stroganoff
