I'm in the market for some Spotted Dick  
Is there a dish with more absurd a name?  
Do Ladyfingers tempt you -- there's a chick  
that seized on these to gather quite a fame.

A Stinking Bishop once confessed this sin:  
Bangers and Mash, deliciously prepared,  
do take the cake. As long as it has been,  
I still wish that the room was better aired.

A Priest Choker, a smelly, cheesy knave  
Bubble and Squeak, leftovers for a time  
Devils on Horseback did ride in to save  
Our Limping Susan from a bitter crime

So after searching low, and searching high  
I settled. Something simple. Whoopy Pie.
