ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

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!

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.

Terry

Thanks Terry

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!
