Piccalilli – the pickle that zings with zest
and foretells my royal downfall, a roll
prepared with onion, cheese, egg n’
tomato, spiced liberally with piccalilli
One bite cost my common sense –
knowing full well white rolls make me
ill I ate with relish still; it tastes soooo
wonderful when one like me
Lives in a bland dish desert of safe
condiments in black pepper and coarse
salt – if I felt bad after Prego steaks, I
now adore a crazy piccalilli tang
An extravaganza returns to haunt me in
solitary confinement of official texts, head
throbbing, oh piccalilli, chopped veggies,
cheese and spice, enchanting, piquant
For the underprivileged palate…
[ORIGINAL:]
Piccalilli – the word just sings with zest
and zing - spells my downfall, when you
prepared a roll with golden onion, tomato
egg and cheese all spiced up with piccalilli
I took one bite and lost all common sense
knowing full well that white rolls make me
ill I went ahead and ate with relish, it tastes
wonderful to one like me who lives life
In a desert of bland dishes with black pepper
and coarse salt the only condiments that's safe
I love Prego steaks, feel bad afterwards - now
adore the tangy taste of piccalilli
An extravaganza coming back to haunt me in
solitary confinement with official texts, head
throbbing: oh piccalilli, chopped vegetables
and spices enchanting and piquant
For the underprivileged palate…
