"Christmas Pudding"


It starts many weeks before

buying all manner of fruit galore.


Soaking in quality rum or brandy

not just whatever alcohol is handy!


Another spoonful just prior to serve

set alight for that blue flame verve.


Ice cream, custard or cream at hand

though I've never found the pudding bland.


Savouring each morsel with glee

incase of the threepenny bit you see.


Knowing grandpa will soon pretend pain

having that bit caught in his throat again.


Seeming to have circum to another disaster

We finish off with rounds of laughter.
