A cheerful little ditty for Oli (not a paedo in sight)
*ducks*
(and apologises profusely...no self control :) ) So crispy and crunchy, crammed full of delight, a well-battered Mars bar is a wonderful sight. It fills him with joy, it makes his heart sing, with this lot inside him he'll do anything. He'll feel so inspired with no need for duress, he'll strip off his clothes and dive into Loch Ness. The people will perish, birds fall from the sky as our dripping wet Scotsman emerges nearby. |

Good, fun poem Elli. I hope Oli's seaching out the chip pan and his trunks as we speak.
All the best,
Phil. | Och! Jings crivens, help mi Boab!

In fact, earlier this year I nominated the deep fried Mars bar as one of the seven wonders of Scotland, right up there with the Glasgow shipyards and the Severn Bridges and I even wrote my own ode, to reflect this:
Here's to lochs so blue and fair
Dark green forests, sweet fresh air
Craggy mountains, stretching far
And of course, the fried Mars bar
The Scotsman didn't print it, so I thought I'd share it with you here. Go on, Oli -- I'm an American. Surely you can do something with super-sized Yanks and Big Macs . . .? |

Thanks for wasting your time on my piece of silliness!
