Chips (french fries)

by Percy Albertross - Taurus

CHIPS

Chips and pudding, chips and pie,
Chips and egg, with beans piled high.
Chips and curry, chips and fish, 
Chips and peas in a great big dish.
Why has the humble chip become
An old and dying art?
'Cause everybody seems to want
Chips frozen from the start.
They never taste the same; 
They’re always skinny with no taste.
You need fifty on a buttie 
Or the bread is just a waste.
People always say to me, 
That chips are just no good.
But nothing tastes as scrummy,
As a deep-fried crispy spud.
Lots of salt and vinegar, 
With a splash of tomato sauce.
Just the thing to fill me up,
When I’m hungry as a horse.
