In Praise of the Sausage

By Ruskin Bond

I like a good sausage, I do;
It's a dish for the chosen and few.
Oh, for sausage and mash,
And of mustard a dash
And an egg nicely fried - maybe two ?
At breakfast and lunch, or at dinner,
The sausage is always a winner;
If you want a good spread
Go for sausage on bread,
And forget all your vows to be slimmer.
(Written for Victor and Maya Bannerjee, who excel at making sausage breakfasts)
