Fruitcake
Welcome to our little jamboree,
And thanks for answering the call.
Perhaps you’d like to help us out
On Mister Nuttall’s Fruitcake stall?
He answers to the name of Paul,
But his counter’s rather under-manned.
So to sell his pitch, his mixture’s rich,
And it’s way too fruity on his stand.
He’s concerned with currant issues,
There’s not a subject he’s not raisin’.
His cakes look merry, adorned with cherry -
With only home-grown stuff in his basin.
But take a slice of what he’s offering,
The texture’s too light if you try it.
When it’s sliced so thick, it’ll make you sick -
I doubt if anyone will buy it.
