tim's Bits and Pieces - 52. Blinded by the Noodle
Yesterday morning I was hungry ... and there they were. Only a week old, what's the harm in that? Plenty. But i ignored my little voice of reason ...
Looking good there on my warm breakfast plate
Heated to a glistening perfection
Finishing with a picante hot sauce
—ahhh they are the rice noodles of my dreams
I scoffed them with great gusto and desire
Their flavour was fine and the smell the same
I went then with nary a thought again
Nary a one until that evening’s meal
When the creeping lurgy came upon me
And I let my thoughts return to morning
While my innards groaned and contracted hard
I spent a long painful night in the loo
Giving me time to replay that morning
Oh dear, what a foolish boy I had been
Seduced by the perfection of noodles
I did not listen to my self-warning
That you could end up with food poisoning!
