The House Of Cod

More silliness

No need to wear ya Sunday best
when ya come to the house of cod
Cos here we worship fish'n'chips
not the Lord almighty, God.

The fryer ain't a balding man
in sandals and a cassock
he's a specialist with boiling oil
cooking cod 'n' plaice and haddock.

Whilst the sisters peeling spuds for chips
ain't or never will be nuns,
they'd flash their b***s for a lager top
and for a vodka bare their buns.

And me, my name is Harry Priest
I'm not a religious man,
but I feed the masses like J C
but from my shop or mobile van.

Flash their b***s and bare their buns? As soon as I can get a passport, I'm taking the next flight to Merry Olde.

[Gee]

Cheers John, give me a shout when you land :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ha you made me chuckle so again Gee with this lilting refrain. Very entertaining and puts cod in it's rightful plaice.

[Gee]

Thanks John

I've come back for another parcel of chip an fish
I want it wrapped in last weeks 'Times and Star'
Cos I missed getting one an I want a read
Dont like it wrapped in brown paper any way -
It spoils the flavour
Summat to do wit ink they used

[Gee]

Thank you again

Now that was a fun read - a little iconoclastic, but they deserve it of late, with all the pedophilia revelations. Keep feeding the masses, Gee.

[Gee]

Cheers Maxwell, glad that you enjoyed the read.

Brilliant, gallops along at a tremendous pace. I read it aloud to myself and the whole poem trips so easy off the tongue.

Beccy.

PS. The title is truly inspirational

[Gee]

Thank you Beccy, am pleased you enjoyed. Cheers

Sizzling. I can hear the fryer. Its just next to the font innit? Prefer the Rev Haddock meself though with lots of vinegar and mushy peas. In fact, its just about Tea time.

[Gee]

I've never tried mushy peas, 56 years on this planet and never had them. Saying that, very seldom have fish and chips, used to be a once in a blue moon treat as a kid. Now it's all KFC, Maccy D's and the like. Not a big fan.
Thanks Ken, hope all is well up North.

I wish Norman was not indisposed (in hospital for heart issue) . . . he would love this one, cuz he's always writing scathing funnies about the church! You two write dueling poems slamming the starched. I love it! This one is especially well-crafted with rhyme, rhythm, & tongue-in-cheek. I love how this piece worships what we consider to be one of the crowing glories of the UK -- fish'n'chips! This shows some hummin' humor & playfulness! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Gee]

Hi Margie, thanks. Please pass on my best wishes to the young fella if you are in touch with him.read moreHi Margie, thanks. Please pass on my best wishes to the young fella if you are in touch with him.

Just heard from Tricia this morning . . . Norman got a pacemaker & came home yesterday, now resting from his ordeal, but will be back soon! *yippee!*

[Gee]
