THE FISH PAN

entry picture

(I've always felt this site lacked a poetry and recipe fusion post.  Here's one from the Lumpwood King)

 

For those of us that barbecue we sometimes find we wish

We might forego the pork or lamb and barbecue some fish;

But this is problematic; you’ll find this once you start

Cos tasty though as most fish is it’s prone to fall apart;

Now remedies are possible; it could be wrapped in foil

But this retains the moisture so the fish will merely boil;

And dowsing it with olive oil in a pan I’ve tried

But then it’s scarcely barbecued – the fish just ends up fried;

But then I had a good idea (well, truth to tell, I lied)

I strolled around Strike’s nursery when upon this pan I spied;

But bugger me! At what a price! Sixteen ninety nine!

But reckoned it’s no better than the pan I’ll make of mine;

 

I set to work this morning with a frying pan and drill

And now I’ve got it finished; and doesn’t it look brill?

Our Gert though’s not so happy (so I’m no happy man)

She says that I have buggered up her brand new frying pan.

"Drill and Fill - The Complete Frying Pan Service"
You're onto something, Kev.

What a coincidence John. I've just invented a plug for filling holes in frying pans. I think that we could go into business.

I don't think I need any more, Don. I've got a dozen for sale.

Sure that's you in the vid John? Doesn't look anything like that WOL guy (giving praise to the sky?)

You now need to go to the next step and make a frypan guitar (despite a holey one - could add unique tonal qualities?).
You've already got a neck (the pan). Maybe some kitchen twine for strings? Then put this to good use by twanging a tuneful melody to help bonding back to Gert.

Sorted......

Thanks, Josie. And it works too! I gave it a run-out two nights ago. Excellent; it lets the smoke and wood-flame through the holes to impart a barbecue flavour.
Thanks also, Devon, for the Like.

JC you could always put six strings across it and make a 'National'.

A case of out of the fire into the frying pan, eh, Don?

I see that you have learned here
Stay way from sex (it mires)
Sex life of fish good to avoid
Avoided pan to fire

(Good decisions John.....)

It seems however, lack you
In skills conversion-pannic
Perhaps you should have night-schooled first
Before your pan-titanic

(Not a good decision here John...)
