April 30th - Steamed Hams

Nine of Spades - Steamed Hams



Steamed Hams But It's An Elizabethan Sonnet

The entrance of my lord leaves me abashed
But sated soon he’ll be by luncheon grand
Ye Gods! My special roast is turned to ash
Yet yonder dive ignites a cunning plan
(musical break)
My reckless tongue declares I’ll serve steamed clams
When Chalmers comes inquiring o’er the smoke
With ostentatious plating of Steamed Hams
I misdirect him trying not to choke
My lies proliferate beneath his gaze
I use my humdrum manner as a ballast
When Chalmers sees my kitchen all ablaze
I tell him it’s Aurora Borealis
Though Seymour you strike me an offbeat man
I must declare you steam a damn good ham







Smell you jerks later!
