Brian’s Picnic

We’ve …

cheese rolls, chicken rolls,

Beef rolls, Ham;

choose now, quickly, Brian-

bacon, beans or spam?

I WANT A DOUGHNUT!

We’ve…

egg and cress and sausages,

good old lettuce leaf;

come on, Brian, take some now-

there’s turkey, tuna, beef…

I WANT A DOUGHNUT!

We’ve…

treacle tart and apple tart,

biscuits, blackberries, cake-

take which one you feel like,

Brian, come along now, take!

I WANT A DOUGHNUT!

There’s…

jelly next or trifle,

everything must go!

Quickly, Brian, pass your plate-

is it yes or no?

I WANT A DOUGHNUT!

We’ve…

sponge cake, fruit cake,

eat it any way!

Peanut butter, best rump steak…

what is that you say?

I WANT A DOUGHNUT!
