.4. Cheap Meat Poem by David Threadgold

Our butcher is a funny man
He said he liked my chine
I asked him if he had some skirt
And could he chop it fine

He put my skirt upon his block
And sharpened up his knife
Then sliced it with a cheeky grin
Unseen behind his wife

I asked if he had fillet
Two pound he said he could
Normally it cost much more
When butchers fillet good

He offered me a tasty bird
And would I like a stuffing
A swift right hook from the butcher’s wife
And I got my meat for nuffing
