Saw this remarkable... display on what my mother calls, "Space Book", and thought, "I can do a little something with this." Not much, you understand, and not really keeping to the tune but in parts, but here's a Kosher carol (sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum, sorta) for the Holidays, from your "luscious pink 'fruit'":
O spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
Not only great when cocktail sauced,
But also good when salad tossed,
O spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
For ham and eggs, I wouldn't care.
A cheeseburger? We've all been there.
But spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
A son-in-law, of Hindu caste,
May win your heart, just not so fast.
O spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
Of blended wools, and cloven hooves,
The righteous man will n'er approve.
But spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
Why God hates shrimp, I couldn't say.
He makes the rules, and we obey.
But spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
On Christmas day, it's Chinese food,
Must my fried rice be always nude?
O spotted prawn, o spotted prawn,
Of all the tref most tempting.
Thanks a million dearest Brad! I enjoy it very much.
