V is for Veg

When it comes to Christmas dinner
I'm a bit of a bore
I don't eat turkey, or any other meat,
Although I'll eat roast potatoes by the score

I'm a vegetarian spoilsport, see?
But I've caused most concern to many
When they ask how many sprouts I'd like
And the answer is :"Not Any".

I won't touch gravy but I like bread sauce
I'm not bothered by Xmas Cake or Pud,
Although I will sample mince pies of course!
The brandy butter is always good.

The Christmas Veg is what I really crave
Neeps and ratatouille
Onions, sage, and cloves
Parsnips crisp and chewy.

But Dear Father Christmas
I have just one wish
Don't let a single sprout
Near my dish.
