You big whore!

Inviting, inticing ;bite in ,what are you waiting for!

The profiteering cafe owner with knife
cuts much fried sausage very thinly sliced .

A succulent meat to make your mouth water

Containing strangley aranged body parts mashed together. .

I crunch my teeth to a sad deceit
adding by pouring from the bottle of sauce marked brown
If it had any flavour it`s now proficiently drowned.

I must admit defeat and try to be meek and have a veggie sausage instead.

Lawrenco, nice one! I had a good laugh at this and the line with this in particular,

'strangley arranged body parts mashed together'

It reminded me of why I don't eat sausages! I too am a brown sauce lover man, I drown the flavour out of everyting with it.

Nice works

Peace and Love

Lawrenco,

Such a big difference between a good sausage and a poor one. I can't say, however, that I've ever put any sauce on a sausage. I'm a purist I guess. You've created some clear images here though. Good work.

FIXES

This has a misplaced modifier --- "Containing strangley aranged body parts mashed together my desire doesn`t falter." It says that 'the desire' is made of body parts instead of the sausage.

Sausages made right, are great. But the other kind - lips and things UGH! I could say I'd wish I'd never found out what's inside, but the taste tells me it isnt really food. I think the so-called food has misplaced modifiers inside anyway and that's worse than a whore.

I wonder what they fake in the veggie one?

P.S. You can't beat a bacon roll with lettuce. At least you can recognise the contents.

Hi Don, Brian ,Godfather.
Yes indeed Brian what does go in to make a sausage sandwich?
There are some really good veggie susages available,but not from the caff, those reconstituted veg mixed together the same crass way their meat cousins are made ,although without a membraned sheath...where is this going.

Don Happy you liked it may brown sauce users of the world unite!They`ll be question at H.P.

Godfather thanks for the FIXES always apprieciated.(taken the line out just for the moment.

Funny how a sausage sandwich can get us going! I love sausages! I can understand how people can be disgusted by the unknown body parts included, but it's all a matter of culture surely! I mean, tripe, liver, kidneys.....!

I would rather not know what's in them - if they taste OK that's fine by me.

Admit it, Patrick, I bet you love them too! I can't imagine that you'd want a veggie sausage! Contradiction in terms, surely!

Enjoyed it.

Hi Lawrenco!

well the first line made me giggle ha ha! Very much in the vein of Roger McGough I thought (sorry if I got his name wrong) a sort of wry humerous look at something in everyday life. I could imagine him reading this in his dry tones!!!


As for the other: YUK, don't meat sausages have eyeballs and private wotnots in them too? Well having not eaten a burger since I was about 21 or something I guess I am in no position to complain. Some veggie burgers are bloody terrible anyway, its best to make your own. On the other hand I love those old cafes. They are about the only place you can get a decent mug of char, a good plate of chips and everything you need for a chip butty! (don't get them here in the States).

Nice write!

Well Joannie ,I must admit to indulging on the odd good quality sausage, John the local butchers does provide some very adiquate prize winning sausages which are a delight to eat.
The cafe alternative sausage can be a very different story.-Although the goodens are out there ,my favorite is from a cafe in barnet,London,Where the cafe is cunningly disguised as it`s integral to a advertising hording.Top end of the Finchley Rd .

Hi G. I remember Roger McGough being the first poet to impress me when I was about 15.
It`s a real compliment for me comparing our style ,thanks.
I must say I think there are some realy good veggie sausages on the market i`m sure it`s the same in the states.
Chip butty? Thought it was north country thing .
You could start of a franchise in the states called the "greasy spoon" ,go down a treat

Nice one, Pat!

As I'm trying to diet you've tapped into my personal zeitgeist! That craving for something which is ultimately so unsatisfying!

Mmmmm, sausages!

Cheers,
Anthony
