Pickles with custard
jelly with mustard
Juicy lump of coal

Chilli with jam
peanut butter and spam
Ice cream with lollys cold

Husband cringes
wife with binges
not knowing what to do.

Has no one guessed
what's going on
No, its not the flu.

Just a mild attack
nine months it takes
Yes you guessed it
A pregnant pause

Alice - nice pacy piece. Very tongue-in-cheek and sruck a real chord with me as have just come off the phone from a close pregnant friend who was describing her somewhat odd food cravings!!! Ice cream and brown sauce anyone???

How many of us can relate to this I wonder - well, most of the women anyway. Great piece Alice.
