Another Sandwich Poem by Ruth Walters

Another Sandwich

He was multi layered,
peel back the first
and you thirsted for more.
Underneath was a great sauce,
mixed salad, onions and a smooth
coating of salted butter.
You knew you'd been fed.
The only thing left
was to wash it all down
with a jive.
Be-bop-a-lu-la,
it's a crazy old life.

JIVE (British slang) : 'What is a jive in British slang? jive noun (TALK) talk that has no meaning or is dishonest: Don't believe a word he says, it's just a bunch of (= a lot of) jive! '

Be-bop-a-lu-la, ' seems like something I read in one of your poems recently. Maybe PH messed up or I got distracted and messed up? ? ! ! I'll look at Comments on PH to see if I find anything to help me figure things out. ;)))
