Dinner party
To improve your Sunday roast,
Never try to boil your toast.
This is surely much the most
Egregious error.
For when serving it, the host
Will release its toasty ghost
And each guest will flee his post
In naked terror. But if wise, you rather freeze
All the carrots and the peas
And the pudding and the cheese,
Each foody item;
And the butterflies and bees
And the flowers and the trees
And the hiccup and the sneeze,
Then you’ll delight ’em!
