CHRISTMAS DINNER
The time has come for christmas dinner,
wait to pile my plate with food,
turkey, potatoes, carrots and peas,
prehaps some gravey if I'm in the mood!
Salted crisps, sprouts with chestnuts,
cabbage and redcurrant jelly,
pigs in blankets, stuffing too,
can't wait to eat and fill my belly!
All tuck in and eat it up,
think its really yummy,
eating, eating filling up,
full to bursting in my tummy!
Just room for christmas pud,
full of berries, currants and stuff,
brought in flaming and on fire,
burns off and blows out with a puff!
Serve it out onto the plate,
brandy butter and lashings of cream,
tastes delicious with money inside,
this is the dinner of my dreams!
