Potato Cakes


Splish, 
           Splosh, 
                      Splash,
                                 Nish, 
                                            Nosh, 
                                                       Nash,
                                                                  Bish, 
                                                                             Bosh, 
                                                                                        Bash,
                                                                                                   Mish, 
                                                                                                              Mosh, 
                                                                                                                         Mash.


These are the noises that I make
When I eat potato cakes.

A Poem About Flan


Fortunately for most people, I should wonder, God invented this rather
Luxurious dessert.
A treat, for it most undoubtably is a treat,
Never should it be used in place of bath salts.
Istanbulian flan is rather
Sweet with a crumbly outer layer.
Norwegian flan,
On the other hand,
Tastes disgusting.
A terrible culinary mistake.
German flan is
Often thought to be a cause of migraines.
Other causes might include Oom-pah bands, always causing
Disturbances.
Sultans, prophets
And priests are fans of this often forgotten Sunday dessert,
Neglected and forgotten about in favour of
Dorchester blue and crackers,
Which leads me nicely
Into a line about
Cheeses from around the world, including
Huddersfield.
Final stanza about flan.
I don’t want to
Leave anything out. 
Let me leave you with one thing
Everyone should come to
Realise: Flan is not a good sandwich filler.

Bad Present

Terry West felt stupid. He'd bought his wife a present on impulse and it hadn't paid off.

Up until yesterday, he didn't know what to get her. He just couldn't think.

So at the pub he asked his mates. "What shall I get for my wife's birthday?" he asked. "What shall I get? I want something different. Something she definitely hasn't got" he pleaded.

Little Jimmy in the corner piped up "What about a falcon?"

So Terry got a falcon.

Twenty minutes later, it had killed the cat, made a nest in the knicker drawer and gauged wife's face off.

"THIS IS THE WORST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!" she screamed, choking on her own blood.

And Terry felt certain this was definitely the wrong gift.

Bad Present.
