TALL CHIPS

An interesting thought occurred to me 
When I visited my chippy for some tea 
Asked for chips to go with the fish 
Mushy peas also to complete the dish 

The chips put in paper as many times before 
That's when I spotted something couldn't be sure
Are chips shorter than from several years ago 
Answers please I am very interested to know 

I got home and put my meal onto a plate 
The chips were two inches high when straight 
In my youth chips were taller I can guarantee 
Didn't need a magnifying glass for them to see 

I still enjoy my fish and chips as a weekly treat
Whether it be at home or a city centre seat 
Tall chips are now consigned to the past 
Those chips of my youth never seemed to last

Yes the inevitable “ change” even when it comes to the small things from our youth like the height of chips ;) 
entertaining read as always Kieran , who knows maybe they will make a comeback as a lot of things seem to go full circle .
