Big Banger Blunder
The sausages were counted
The oven was turned on
The day it was a Wednesday
So what could then go wrong
The spuds and carrots had been peeled
The frozen peas in pan
Supper then a game of cards
At least that was the plan
But then the realisation
Of rummy night postponed
At least a fleeting memory
Confirmed when Pete I phoned
But he said cook the bangers
And freeze them when they're cold
Then thaw them out to casserole
It seems I'm not too old
To learn to put in diary
Such dates and not forget
The time of my big blunder
When all alone I ate.
