British food?

[Michael Parnham]

Roast Beef, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots, peas, leek, broccoli and gravy; add a little mustard and horseradish sauce pepper and salt, perfect - and I have it at least twice a week!

[Arthur Little]

- and I have it at least twice a week!

You are old(er) now Michael ... did the young(er) man speak
Though your hair is not at all white.
And yet you're still getting 'it' twice a week !
D'you think at your age it is right?

Explanatory Footnote: 's based on a poem penned in 1865 - by the writer, Charles Ludwidge Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll, author of 'Alice in Wonderland' - which I've duly adapted to suit the present context.

Here's the original for those interested:-

"You are old Father William, the young man said
And your hair has become very white
And yet, you incessantly stand on your head -
Do you think - at your age - it is right?"

There are, of course, many more verses to the actual poem itself, but it's the first verse which sticks in my mind from my scooldays. Does it strike a chord at all with any of you?
