Will you eat it, if it is in a dish?

Will you eat it, if it is in a dish?

If it has got four legs
And it is not a chair
Will you eat it?
Americans will eat it


If it has got two wings
And it flies
But is not an aeroplane,
Will you eat it?
British will eat it in full


If it swims

And it is not a submarine,
Will you eat it?
Africans will eat it
Even if not hungry

It has no legs
And wiggles
But not a stick
Or a broom stick
Will you eat it?
Yes the Chinese will eat it
Like noodles


But a poor
Cantonese
Or an Indian
Or a Bangladeshi
Cook has to cook it

Before it is dished out

In a royal plate


It looks as if

Even a modern

Buddhist of Colombo

Or a Buddhist Monk

From Anuradhapura

Would not say

No

If it is dished out

Not in royal

But

At a Presidential Buffet

In Colombo
