A LADY IN WAITING

Are you a Cumberland sausage? She asked
A deadpan look on her face
E'r no? I said somewhat perplexed
I had only just taken my place

Off she went. All legs and no skirt
To find this sausage a home
I downed my drink to quench my thirst
My identity still not known

My food arrived a feast to behold
Eat drink and have fun
If only the darling waitress was told
I am a T Bone steak well done
