Four chip shops wait for you on Burnage Lane,
But Tony’s isn’t open Monday night.
Full Win, a Chinese chippy, are insane:
They give you more than you can eat. Polite
And generous, but maybe not too bright:
They can forget to charge you for your food.
There’s Yummy on the roundabout: alright,
But they give less for your pound, to be crude.
In the mid-nineties I was always queued
There, elbows on the hot counter, my main
Dilemma: sausage, or something more light?
Maybe fishcake? That new assistant’s rude.
The fourth place, well I’ve tried but I remain
Forgetful of its name. The Golden Bite?
