UNDONE

Bill, an experienced cruise ship chef, 

once had his hands full with the prep, 

when a portly guest came sauntering in, 

which was neither unusual nor the done thing, 

and asked him, What are those? 

To which Bill replied, Escargot. 

The guest, he put one in his mouth 

then gave a most disapproving look. 

A bit chewy, right? Bill said, straight-faced. 

You'll find they're better when they're cooked.
