A Vegetarian Christmas

by Helen Weathers


On the first day of Christmas, my true love made for me
A parsnip in some gravy.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Two turnip lumps,
And a parsnip in some gravy.

On the third day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Three French beans,
Two turnip lumps, and a parsnip in some gravy.

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Four cauli bits,
Three French beans, two turnip lumps, and a parsnip in some gravy.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Five onion rings
Four cauli bits, three French beans, two turnip lumps, and a parsnip in some gravy.

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Six cheesy layers……..etc.

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Seven scones and trimmings…….etc.

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love made for me
Eight makes of milk drinks……….etc.

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love made for me,
Nine ladles damsons………….etc.

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love made for me,
Ten dumps of dumpling……….. etc.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love made for me,
Eleven pipes of pasta…………..etc.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love made for me,
Twelve lots of leek things, eleven pipes of pasta, ten dumps of dumpling, nine ladles damsons, eight makes of milk drinks, seven scones and trimmings, six cheesy layers
five onion rings,
four cal bits, three French beans, two turnip lumps, and a parsnip in some gravy.
