Balladeer likes SPAM, you know I must expand his taste I have a jar of Vegemite That I don't want to waste Now Vegemite is different It's taste is sorta funny And if you leave it in the sun It goes like treacle, black and runny Vegemite's a little salty We drink it just like tea It must be full of vitamins It looks so yuck you see. Vegemite is helpful When you're drinking beer It gives to you a real man's thirst Lines the stomach, draws others near But if it's beer you're tired of And on alcohol you choke You could try sipping a dead lizard That's raspberry cordial and coke If Vegemite's not to your taste I know you're gonna vote for Green pea soup, poured over pie We call a meat pie floater If not feeling so adventurous You could try a dish to wank it A sausage and sauce wrapped in bread We've named pig in a blanket 'Deer if your stomach's roiling You'll soon be right and tight Just stick to white bread sangas With Spam and Vegemite We're from a prisoner island We don't let things go to waste No matter how the leavings look They're always in good taste. Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Nan, it's a naturally inbred err inherited talent, that's nearly always in good taste.  Be well Kethry< !signature--> Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy [This message has been edited by Kethry (edited 10-24-2000).] |

Kethry, this made me smile, and feel just a little ill. The smile is because of the writing, and I'm feeling ill, well you can guess why. Actually it's because I'm on an early shift and haven't had anything except coffee today. (There something a little vile about eating at 5 am, well there is for me.) Really great Keth I do like this one even if the theme did make me wince. Take care Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, if it made you feel ill, it's done it's job. It was not meant to be serious, (although we do eat those things mentioned, ask any Aussie) The poem started with the Olympic games and pushing Vegemite plus I've been reading Terry Pratchett be well Keth< !signature--> Growth demands a temporary surrender of security.

Keth, you have just made Spam sound like a gourmet delight compared to these other things. No wonder it was a prisoner island..you would have to be a prisoner to eat some of those things! YUCKOS!! Is that eating funny what makes you talk funny? Just wondered |

Ok - call me weird - but I think I'd like a coke with some raspberry liquor (dead lizard) and as one who buys frozen beef and turkey pies to microwave for lunch as well as frequent cans of pea soup (with toasted garlic croutons of course) - so combining them is not a bad scheme at all (floater). but I'll pass on the Sangas thank you - ~G~ - |

Just give me the Spam and some brussels sprouts and color me content. I am with Balladeer on this one all the way. |
