Title:
The Butcher's Arms.
Butcher's Arms - local Inn. Chuckle near the knuckle - come on in. Lean back chicken - rest your rump. Don't chop chairs - don't play the chump. The birds in here - by rule of thumb look just like Biffa Bacon's mum: belly pork dripping from the silverside; breast spilling up from the topside; hog's pud legs and streaky hair; never ever gonna get boned. The old man's glaring jaundice eye, an egg-yolk framed by Gala Pie. With fingers like bludgeoned burnt bangers and his pork scratching toes in their hangars. Parson's nose and liver spots: absolutely, totally stuffed. Turkeys at the bar on the lamb from the pigs: baste post haste in their government digs. Earning poultry sustenance from hand-out meat; giblet jobs in flogging drugs on suet streets. Much at steak from porcine roast: dying, trying not to get sliced. Faggots frowned upon inside the Butcher's Arms: mince is disallowed - it comes from dodgy farms; too close to the bone and too far up the rack; tenderloin and rump gets up the punters' backs. Mutton is mutton - lamb is lamb. Fillet someplace else young man. Butcher's Arms - local Inn. Chuckle near the knuckle - come on in. Lean back chicken - rest your rump. Don't chop chairs - don't play the chump.
