~Cioppino~
Cioppino, a savory Italian cuisine
Catch of the day, spicy and mean
Chunks of tomatoes, in a winey broth
Full length bib made from cloth
Dungeness crab, scallops and shrimp
A hearty meal that doesn’t skimp
Clams and mussels, plenty of squid
Just for a minute, pop on the lid
Cooked in a stock, served in the shell
Dave and Andrew, screaming, “Bloody Hell”!!
Lemon wedges, squeezing in zest,
Your taste buds, will surely be blessed
Ladled over a crusty sourdough
Sometimes, a tiny splash of Pernod
A delightful nourishing meal for tonight
Use plenty of napkins and just don’t wear white……

hallo!im sorry i mistook you for a male.and yes a laddie is a boy or just an affectionate form of saying male.and Bard!THE GREATEST OF POETS ARE REFERED TO AS BARDS.so its the best description of anyone you so admire.sorry for the mix up in calling you laddie.ok?if its any consolation i did not know the writer of frankenstein was awoman till recently.so there.carry on writing bard.all the best.

You DO need to keep working on these and co-author a cookbook.
They're fun.
And those Brits...they do need a little extra seasoning.
