Poem No.111

POEM TITLE If I was a lobster


POEM If I was a lobster, of course you know I'm not.

But if I was and I was caught inside a lobster pot.


Hauled up to the surface ,across the Forth to Blackness On Sea.

Where the chef at The Lobster Pot restaurant could make a thermidor of me.


What you'll need for this dish Is a stock made of fish.

A shallot chopped fine cooked in cream and white wine.

Parsley and please some parmesan cheese.

Mustard from England or Dijon and the juice of a freshly sqeezed lemon.


Now seafood I do adore.

Though I've never tasted thermidor.

Once in France Fruits de la mer.

There's a chance there was some lobster there.

But I was very young so I'm not very sure.


So if I had some cash to spare.

I can not think of anywhere, I'd rather take my freinds to share.

The fine wines, hospitality and traditional fare.

Of the Lobster Pot Restaurant.

I'll see you there.
