Maitre Die

Ma?tre Die

Eustace Gandalf Kermit Singh

Thought he could eat anything:-

Fleshy fish and small crustacea,

Eels and funny things from Asia

Monsters, squids and langoustine

Became his all-consuming dream.

His nemesis came years later,

At the hands of a Head Waiter.

Something you could not describe,

Bored a hole through his inside.

The Ma?tre said "I'm desolate!

As the poor chap died, I could only 'wait'!"
