FUNNY WHAT SETS YOU OFF

FUNNY WHAT SETS YOU OFF

Funny what sets you off -
Reading the Chris Packham book
I suddenly found myself fancying
Bird's Eye beefburgers
Chips and frozen peas

Funny what sets you off -
Haven't thought about that in years

Funny what sets you off -
That memory of childhood teas
With a dollop of tomato ketchup
Sold by juvenile
Actors in tank tops

Funny what sets you off -
Haven't thought about that in years

Funny what sets you off –
Comfort food from the dawn of time
I’m fifty-two for God’s sake!
Such a tea would most
Probably kill me

Funny what sets you off -
But I think about that quite a lot
