Sodium Free.
‘Twas the diet with which I find fault,
That started the kitchen revolt.
One bite, and he muttered;
‘This toast isn’t buttered
And who eats their eggs without salt!?’

Hi! I love the 'sodium free' that made me chuckle :-) it seems that the eggs are not so bad after all, not as bad as they made it sound few years ago ... :-) happy days!
ReplyDeleteStafford - you are just so brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
No butter, no salt, and where's the bacon? What's the world coming to? Love this!
ReplyDeleteAt least now we are allowed to eat eggs again!! But you're right who could face butterless toast and no salt?
ReplyDeleteDear Stafford,
ReplyDeleteI eat my eggs without salt ... lots of Pepper.
You have yet another winning Magpie!!!
Finally, I beg to differ. We have our morning eggs with soyasauce, pepper and chili sauce all over.
ReplyDeleteOh, how you cracked me up!
Haha - what a fun limrick! I didn't even notice the toast was dry, don't they know butter is from the gods? (esp. if one is Hindu? - just kidding)
ReplyDeleteAt least the china pattern was the best the world has ever known.
ReplyDeleteLove it. What a great take on the picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting me, have a great week.
Amen! I am with you, especially with the dry toast. blah!
ReplyDeleteDry toast is an acquired taste;-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your verse - great fun.
perhaps it's butter side down? - anyway, needs vegemite!
ReplyDeletegreat Magpie
ps I didn't see you on the Magpie list?
ReplyDeleteThank you Isabel, an oversight now fixed.
ReplyDeleteyour poem is the blue ribbon special of the day!!!
ReplyDeletetrue, a dish without salt is tasteless.
ReplyDeletewell done.
Oh Lord above you remind me of my husband! Perfect! Love it!
ReplyDeletePerfectly done! Maybe one day salt will be as acceptable as eggs now are - we do have a tendency to lurch forward and regroup back-ards. I'm returning to your electric car post to ponder - thanks for ideas...
