Here's Alison: Italian Quiche
Alison Ross wrote this poem for her 14-year-old granddaughter, who wished she had ordered fish and chips.
I don’t like beans and spinach,
I don’t like an onion or sprout.
I’m usually so careful,
When I’m dining out!
I don’t like pumpkin with skin on,
And I don’t like Maori Kai,
But when I went to Devonport
I chose a ‘Vegie Pie’
Grandma thought it funny,
And Mother said ‘You eat!
I spent four-fifty on it,
And this my girl’s your treat’
I think I must be crazy,
To turn down Chips and Fish,
I thought I’d eat ‘ Italian,’
At least that was my wish!
I didn't know Italian Quiche
Was nothing but a lie
It was so full of vegies
I felt like I would cry.
But 'Vegie Pie' was what I got,
And Vegie Pie' I had to eat,
I promise you I'll double check,
Next time I get a treat!
