Festive 100 word for grown ups

This week the lovely Julia has set a Chrismassy theme; choose a carol and use that as the basis for a Christmas dinner themed pioece. It has to scan so it can be sung along to the tune, what fun!!
Check out the details on Julia's blog here-

I have had a bash and here is mine- to be sung to the tune of "Ding Dong Merrily!"


It's Christmas Dinner Time!


Carrots , parsnips,  sprouts and peas,
Sausages,  bacon  and turkey,
Will you have a glass of wine?
Go on, after all it’s Christmas...

Cra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ackers
Go on and Pull my cracker!
Cra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a—a-a-a-a-a-ackers
Let’s get this party started!

Cranberries, gravy and bread sauce
Add to my delights
Yes, I’ll have another glass
Now let’s have some pudding.


Bra-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aa-andy 
butter on  my pudding.
Cu-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ustard 
Calories? Who’s counting!

Last week I wasn't feeling particularly creative. This week, a little more so, so to make up for it, here is my Ode to a sprout ...
Enjoy:-

To a Sprout


Wee green and white seasonal veggie
O’ what powers thee has to divide
Opinions round yonder festive table!
Rich in flavour , crunchy and wholesome
Yet,  discarded wi’ ne’er a care
Mercilessly  ridiculed beyond compare.

Wee humble sprout- I salute you.
Part of Christmas for e’er and a day
You’re always welcome in my home
And not just on Christmas day!
