Thanks for the comments.
Tectak. Sorry, I'm spoken for. But thanks for the offer.I meant seasoned, yes, as in familiar but I also had seasoning/stuffing in mind.
Ta for Casablanca! It's not as far but rolls off the tongue a lot better.
Dale.Thanks for highlighting "while lay sprawled". I think lying sprawled will be better.I tend to agree about the 3rd verse but I'll keep it anyway. I don't know if anyone on here is old enough to recall Ian Dury, but I think the poem was influenced by some song of his and the end line of each verse - he isn't kosher - is meant to be snarled Dury-style after a pause.
Billy.I can't decide which is best - turkeys feel at Christmas - turkeys feel for Christmas.I was a Psychiatric Nurse for many years and met a few of this ilk.

Before criticising a person, try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them, you're a mile away.....and you have their shoes.
