First Edwina Currie came for the eggs,
And I did not protest for I am a chicken.
Then the listeria infiltrated meat pate blunder,
And I did not protest for I was yet too young
To fully appreciate the joy of Melba Toast
Next CJD caused beef’s days to be numbered,
And I did not complain as the prices plummeted,
And it wasn’t only Sundays I enjoyed a roast.
But now they link coli with cucumbers
Causing complacent salad eaters to be scared,
And Spanish growers thoughts to turn to compost.
