The Sandwich

Oh what shall I have

Today for my tea?

I know - a sandwich,

As big as can be!

I'll start with the bread,

Two slices, quite large;

Then slap on some jam,

Oh yes, and some marge,

I'll put in some cheese,

A tomato or two,

And maybe an onion

This big one will do!

I'll bung in some lettuce,

A radish, of course,

And...a sizzling burger,

All covered in sauce!

Add in some chicken,

And maybe some chips,

Some biscuits, an apple,

A packet of crisps,

A cake with some candles,

Some chocolate (one bar),

Spaghetti, bananas,

Sweets from a jar,

Baked beans and humbugs,

Carrots and mustard,

All topped off with cream

And steaming hot custard...

Now a sandwich like that

You really can't beat,

It's packed out with goodies,

A real tasty treat.

There's only one problem;

It's breaking my heart...

It's such a big sandwich - 

Where do I start?
