Peter, Peter, butter chicken pie eater,
Looked for a pie for the microwave heater.
But Lynn had eaten the whole damn lot,
For lunch fruit juice was what he got.
This is a sad tale of a guy (old) who had developed a passion for the pies that they sold in Kaiwaka.
Kaiwaka |
Locals recall how he made a bit of a nuisance of himself by turning up regularly at their Italian bakery. He never bought anything else but their butter chicken pies. On times that all the butter chicken pies had been sold he got quite upset.
"I love butter chicken pies!" |
A butter chicken pie. |
When I drive through Kaiwaka
My stomach starts to pucker.
I say to that Italian guy,
"Give me a butter chicken pie!"
He asks what else I may want,
I always say that I don't.
Then I start to cry,
If he's sold the last butter chicken pie.

OK - a nice try at poetry. I'll put you just ahead of Robert the onanist - sorry - Robert the odist from Moera and William McGonagall from Edinburgh.
In the interests of accuracy though It's not only the butter chicken pies I like from the bakery - La Nonna Itallian Bakery Kaiwaka - I also like the long cream doughnuts, the almond croissants and the tuna ficelles.

I watched Tonto Horn (spelling intended) on your site Rob. Che stronzata!
Very good.
I edited it to improve the san though. No need for thanks.
How I delight in chicken pies,
With flavours built from orient spice;
But they cause my cholesterol to rise,
Against my doctors best advice.
If you have a problem with my spelling of ‘scan’ which printed as ‘san’, I refer you to my latest post.
Thank you for your consideration.
Ha ha. I thought Richard wrote that ‘pies of chicken’ poem.
I should’ve known better.
Against my doctor's best advice.

Shouldn't you have said, "Heres an interesting post for you to read:"?
"Heres"?
'Hoisted by your own petard' springs to mind.
