DISH WISH
I woke up today with a wish ,
To prepare a sumptuous dish;
Why not try some kind of fish ?
Got some soft shallots,
And well cut carrots,
Added some chilly of colour red,
Grown in some plant well bred
Added some cut ginger
Started peeling the fish with my finger
There you go, ingredients all ready
It was looking great and goody
How about putting it to boil
So checked the oven’s coil
Seeing it all perfect, i started cooking
But where is salt? I kept looking,
Got it finally and sprinkled
It did merge with dish and mingled
Wow, I got the smell of fried fish
It sure was a blissful dish
Devoured it with some bread
That’s when, got a strange sensation in my head
I started feeling, I was in heaven
After having eaten those fried
pieces in eleven,
I closed my pleasant eyes,
As I tasted all those fries
Wow, I see butterflies flitting
Colourful Macau around are sitting;
Dolphins in the seas dancing,
Parrots all around singing;
Elephants all trumpeting,
Lions , tigers and cheetah smiling;
It was all around garden of flowers
Giving out its aroma far and wide in showers;
Blissful was the oceans in blues,
Fishes all around in colourful hues;
Wait! What’s this?, Heaven showed me all kinds of breed!
Except, that one yummy feed!
Where are all the prawns?
Can’t see these yummy circled crowns;
Oops the heaven has it all
Can’t believe, prawns missing in the roll;
Glug! Glug! Glug!
Oh yeah! They are no longer in the ocean on a prowl,
Because I heard now my stomach growl;
The prawns were all inside me in a stroll
To get digested in my stomach full
How silly of me to forget
That heaven will surely miss it
Because my dish today, was the fried prawns,
Shining in my oiled pan as golden crowns.
