Today's poem uses the suggestion 'Over-eating' from 'The King of Nonsense', Colin West. Thank you, Colin!
I Spy Christmas Pie
Frederick Fortescue Frodberry Fry
baked all of Christmas Day into a pie
there was turkey and stuffing and chocolate and cake
there was pudding and custard and salmon and steak
there were crackers and ribbons, sleighbells, and stars
there was tinsel and holly and glitter from jars
there were baubles and crackers and slices of ham
there was Christmas TV and some weird homemade jam.
The Christmas Day pie filled us up, fit to bust
with all of the trimmings stuffed under its crust
and when we were groaning, each with a full belly
he called “Who’s for lashings of Boxing Day Jelly?”
Love this! It's very funny and a real sense of his character too. Great name!
Haha! Had me guessing to the end. Glad I provided the prompt for such a funny poem 😊
