ODE TO A WEE INDIAN TAKEAWAY
Ffa the smell o Puna lamb, - better for ye than biled ham even better than a piece'n'jam a meal complete more tasty than a tin o spam a special treat
This wonderous dish most oriental has rendered haggis incidental but Rabbie it wid drive ye mental an fu o worry tae see how folk wance tempremental have taen tae Indian curry
Yesee them ower their spiced japaties they now prefer tae mince an tatties or a nice wee korma wi a bit pakora's a fair delight they're gaun tae regret it all the morra or maybe through the night
for alas this pungent grub frae Puna's a cert tae gi them montezuma these hottest spices frae Punjabi that they desire will hiv them locked inside the lavvy their arse on fire
wi insides like a rifle bore they yell and scream and shout for more frae Glesga toon tae Bangalore ye hear them singin an then their clutchin belly sore their troosers mingin
For ye ken that these Punjabi dinners are deadly stuff tae Scottish innards but they mob the curry shops, quite happy! stuffin doon the tiki Nae wonder Gandhi wore a nappy and wis sae cheeky |

Gotta' flee, ..... which incorporates both. Your "Ode to Gruesome Food" does NOT fit the "wee" category. Try to do better. Spaw |

Whether yere better aff tae pit up wi shit or tae fecht back.Maist times ah think the answer wid be jist knock yersel aff an hae a nice quiet nap.Nae daft dreams tae waken ye up an frichten the life oot o ye as ye wid be deid oneyway. Then again that wid mibbe cause anither problem as ah dinnae know whit the deid dreams micht be worse an then ye wid be scuttered. Wi aw the finaglin an crookery that goes on in the warld at least ye get yased tae it efter a while.So mibbe stickin a big needle in yersel micht be a wee bit rash,dae ye no think. The deil ye know micht be better then the deil ye dont know. So ah think we're to too feart tae tak the chance. Jist talk tae Ophelia aboot it.She knows. |

01 Nov 00 - 02:31 PM (#332088) Subject: RE: BS: A wee poem for ye From: GUEST,Albamist Your poem reminded me of many great nights spent at the Shish Mahal in Gibson St. 6 to 8 pints (20 oz. Imperial) of beer followed by tons of pakora, a chicken dhansak, a mountain of rice and a couple of chappatis, how could you go wrong? All that consumed on a 145 lb frame (that was then this is now). Incidently, when I was home in Scotland in the summer, there was a great comedy show on tv where everything was presented from an Indian perspective e.g a bunch of drunken Indian yoboos go for fish & chips after a night at the pub and insult the english waiter etc etc. It was hilarious. Can anyone tell me the name of the show. Hope it comes here (Toronto) but it may be too politically incorrect. |

03 Nov 00 - 06:40 PM (#334009) Subject: RE: BS: A wee poem for ye From: Bearheart Thanks folks, I needed to laugh today... If I'd realized it would be so good I would have checked it out sooner. Do you do this often, LJC, and do you always use the code words "a wee poem for ye"? I'll be sure to look for them. Maybe you could just use the code letters "LJC". It's quicker... And you should do it more often. |
