Your sandwich, your way?

A sandwich bar last summer

Your sandwich made your way

“I’ll have a chicken butty please

Oh! And salad what the hey.”

“Hang on now, where’s the butter

There’s no butter on my bread”

“I’m sorry sir I’ll spread it

With some mayonnaise instead?”

"I don’t want bloody mayonnaise

When I came in here today

It was just to buy a sandwich

But a sandwich made My Way".

No wonder you are having problems getting your sandwich it usually takes ten years up here before we talk to new people LOL. Best stay at home and make your own, will trouble you less and you will eat the best, No worries no curries to knit your brow, just a chip butty for you now, Good write there Oh wanderer. You have a great day and there are a few stars on their way, Yours Ian.T
