Willow Pattern Platter Patter 62.

Say that a few times quickly, then re-light the candle and read on.

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!

    At least now we are allowed to eat eggs again!! But you're right who could face butterless toast and no salt?

    Finally, I beg to differ. We have our morning eggs with soyasauce, pepper and chili sauce all over.

    Oh, 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)

    At least the china pattern was the best the world has ever known.

    Dry toast is an acquired taste;-)
    I enjoyed your verse - great fun.

    true, a dish without salt is tasteless.

    Perfectly 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...
