Eyes On The Christmas Pud…
(from the picture by Mani Parkes: ‘The Perfect Christmas Pud’)
Now, their eyes carefully scrutinise
The pudding, missing its brandy sauce
And wagging tongues slaver, awaiting their turn
For the the third and tastiest Yuletide course…
Soon, their eyes will closely focus
Upon two slices which would surely remain
And humans will consume their generous shares,
Whilst canine temptation would be hard to restrain…
Later, the remaining slivers, kindly unclaimed,
Were served to the dogs on a festive plate
And the succulent pud’ melted in eager jaws,
Most certainly worth the mouth-watering wait…
