THE SPECIALTY MEAT COUNTER
        AT THE DOMINION STORE
AT SOUTHDOWN AND ROYAL WINDSOR
You should see the array of goodies on display,
Arranged and made to look so pretty every day,
Cared for by four pretty ladies, in charge is Lucy,
With her helpers Jadwiga, Ayechia and also Julie.

There are Kabob’s made of chicken, beef and pork,
When cooked tender enough to eat with just a fork,
A lovely sight to see as they lie there row by row,
Full of bright tasty vegetables, they even seem to glow.

Best cuts of beef of every kind, for a special kind of treat
Laid out before you, every persons tastes and wants to meet,
Each cut to perfect shape and size, the tenderloin for me,
All looking wonderful surrounded by fresh green parsley.

The speciality roasts are among the finest I have seen,
Italian seasoned pork roast, thick Greek beef quite keen,
Texas seasoned pork tenderloin, to name just a few,
You should see the thickness of each piece in front to you.

So join me at Lucy’s counter and drool for a little while
Gaze at the scrumptious food there and give a happy smile,
Look at the beauty, how well the food is so well set out
And if you go and buy some, please give me a shout.
