Mourning Fry-up

Cherry

Following porridge - addled vomit 

sugared with salt,

eggs, almost out of date break

and blister lardy, as tomatoes splurge

burst skins and puddle bloody

under withered strips of streaking swine.

 

The sausage - slickly thick and greased 

anticipates the yolks of disappointed eggs,

whilst beans laugh gaseous at black

pudding saturated and unsanitary 

looking, beside old spuds that bubble

and squeak of fears they had

of being wasted and left

untasted, mouldering in the fridge.

 

Don't forget the juice -

Good Health!

Gosh, you've put me right off my fry-up, now, Beewink.

Seriously though, some great culinary imagery, here. Particularly like the 'disappointed eggs', and 'beans laugh(ing) gaseous at black pudding'. Not forgetting, of course, the play on words in the title. 

Much enjoyed, now I'm off to find the carrot juice.  Well done on the more than deserved cherry.

Sorry for putting you off your fry-up, Tina. Glad you liked those bits, and the tile.

Ah, carrot juice...that's so healthy! And don't forget a glass of red in the evening - for the cholesterol.

Cheers!

I'm now going to skip breakfast, perhaps lunch and evening meal or just go on a diet for a while.

Regards.

I want to thank you, Bee. You've prevented me from putting on any wieght today. I owe you. And I enjoyed the read tremendously. It was a fun read. I wasn't that hungry anyway.

Cheers,

Rich

Hi Rich.

Glad you weren't hungry anyway. Your words always manage to put a smile on my face.

Thank you - (and sorry for the delay in getting back - I've got brain-block).

Reminds me of an abstract painting, Bee!

(and also of some breakfasts I've been presented with in some hotels when I was on the road surprise)

I think you should sell this to Weight Watchers (or the Dept of Health).

Maybe a good recipe for Saturday Kitchen cheeky

Hi Ed.

'Reminds me of an abstract painting...(and also some breakfasts...etc.) - that made me laugh. Thank you for the suggestion re- Weight Watchers, I might give it a go.

Hi Bee,

So clever - your way with words. Each bit getting a little bit more unsavoury.

It is rather unsavory, Jean. Thanks for reading, and I hope it didn't make you feel too sick.
