Funeral Poems For A Cook & Chef: "MORE THYME! MORE THYME! MORE THYME!"

"MORE THYME! MORE THYME! MORE THYME!"

A timer‘s ringing in my ear

The dish of my lifetime is finally here

Love, family, friendship and cake 

Ingredients that really helped keep me awake

But I’ve now run out of that most important of all 

I’ve scoured the kitchen and even searched the hall

If only I’d been more sage with my thyme

And possibly quaffed a little less wine

So please stand and shout with me, if you don’t mind

MORE THYME! MORE THYME! MORE THYME!
