CCLXXV - Appendix to "My Barbie"

.

A blokey addition to the previous post,
Built on Dorothea Mackellar's verse 
beginning 'I love a sunburnt country'.
Please don't get excited, I do eat salads in real life.


I shun a well-dressed salad,
A mix of greens and beets;
Of grated carrot dressings;
Of things a rabbit eats.

I love a hot steak sandwich;
I love a chicken breast;
But never let it be forgot
A well-browned chop is best.

Garlic bread is not a salad.

Next thing you will be telling me is that tomato sauce isn't a vegetable.

Mary said...

Interesting! I would take either a chicken breast or a steak before I would delight in a chop!

Love it!

Far better than the meat ads I've seen on TV (or the BBQ ads for that matter!) Maybe a career in copy-writing beckons..?

My brothers don't like vegetables, claiming that they go on a plate as a garnish to make the meat look even better. Potato and tomato are however honourary meats. Their vegetarian sister despairs.

LOL I love it! I always pick the salad, though. Your post made me hungry too, and it's not BBQ weather here.

I can live on salads. Salads make me feel healthy.Somehow I tend to take other foods and less of salads. Funny isn't it?
