THE FOOD COURT
We’ve got tantalizing Turkish bread
that’s topped with tasty cheese.
We’ve got seafood sushi, spicy shrimps
and hot Wasabi peas.
I’ll have a pie with sauce.
We’ve got vindaloo with coconut,
kebabs and chutney; mild or hot
with pappadums, potato puffs
and korma with the lot.
A pie, a pie with sauce !
Well, there’s rice that’s fried or pork with rice
and saffron rice that’s nice.
We have cannelloni, macaroni,
beef lasagna slice.
I said..a pie with sauce !
You can keep your fancy foreign food,
I’ll choose my favourite fare,
like good old Aussie gravy grub
that’s baked with gutsy flair.
Give me a pie with sauce.
PLEASE !!

No doubt a curry pie Nev!
Didn't have all those options a generation or two back!

Re: THE FOOD COURT
Thanks Ron
. It's just a corny old one that I resurrected and posted because not many poems are being posted here.

Hi Neville
I thought I was a bit of pie lover - but sounds like I've met my match with you mate.
Enjoyed your poem as well.

Re: THE FOOD COURT
Neville ... that made me laugh out loud with the first "I'll have a pie with sauce." Immediately I had this picture in my mind of someone trying to get the message through. A pie mate just a bloody pie.
Loved it!
