Popaul (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones
When I cooked lamb last weekend
I did not add garlic.
This is because in the film 'Le Boucher',
When the eponymous character
Tries to seduce the young teacher
By cooking her a fine joint,
He says that garlic should have no place
In the preparation of lamb.
Of course, later in the film
He is revealed as a psychopath,
Murdering girls and leaving their bodies
On the hillside.
But at no point is it suggested
That he does not know his onions
When it comes to meat.
