Roast
I can be a quite succulent roast,
A fact about which I do boast,
Presented to the guests by the host,
To be eaten after a toast.
Pardon a rhyme somewhat churlish,
But I can be served with a flourish.
I can be described as quite girlish,
But I am often still used to nourish.
I am known as butt when I come from pork,
But you get chuck when beef's on your fork.
With all other animals, even a stork,
My name is my name, even in New York.
