RING OF FIRE

entry picture

(A rather facile parody I'd previously resisted but ! gave in in the end)

 

The taste of Korma’s sweet

And Bhuna’s quite a treat

But Vindaloo is dire

You’ll end up with a Ring of Fire.

Don’t end up with a burning Ring of Fire

Or put in the fridge the evening prior

A toilet roll for your Ring of Fire,

 

Prawn Biryani’s nice

With oriental spice

And lamb from the tandoor

Won’t make your bottom sore.

But Vindaloo means a burning Ring of Fire

Take my advice or regret it, Squire,

Leave Vindaloo or it’s “Ring of Fire”.

 

There’s nothing finer than

A fresh Peshwari Naan

It won’t make you perspire

Or burn your Ring of Fire.

But with Prawn Vindaloo it will surely transpire

That you’ll pray, pray, pray to the good Messiah

To please, please ease your Ring of Fire.

 

A crispy Papadum

Won’t ever burn your bum

But shun Prawn Vindaloo

And spare your pooper flue.

If you don’t your mates will crucify ya

Cos they can’t use the bog when they require

While you dab, dab, dab at your Ring of Fire.

A Johnny Cash hot hit given the culinary twist by the ever
reliable "Johnny Onthemoney"!
Such inventiveness is beyond "facile" in my own view.

Whatever happened to that stuff like grease-proof paper, Harry, which just seemed to "spread the wealth" so to speak?

John,
Concerning your ring of fire:

Could I recommend my thirty two ply, Teflon-coated, non
stick, finger-proof, indestructibles (which one pulls
through from the front continuously until a clean sheet is sighted)...they`ve never failed me yet.

Thanks for the laughter.
