A wee poem by request for @barbsrad, all about Christmas Sweets 
It’s time for the Christmas indulgence,
Eating pudding ’til filled with repugnance,
Mince pies and eggnog.
Chocolaty yule-log
Munching truffles with growing reluctance.

A comission by Simon Marks as payback for his outing as Austin Powers
Paddy as a Cupcake Baker
Paddy, so cool and so manly,
Who’d think he’d be rather handy,
At beautiful piping,
And lovely pink icing,
And cupcakes all covered in candy?
He pretended to act unaware,
Of his unique and particular flair.
What sort of a man,
Bakes his muffins by hand?
Oh, it’s just not a macho affair.
Yay, Cupcakes!

A wee one for the hard working @kukondo and cupcake camp
Cupcakes
Utensils, at once into gear!
The Cup-caking season is near.
Those sugar confections,
With toppings from heaven,
On cake-stands, so soon will appear
Devise flavours to tempt and delight,
What a delectable sight-
Peach melba and walnut
Devil’s food chocolate,
Sensory raptures take flight!

For the fantastic @herrbenz, by request – ” Brussels Sprouts”
The brassicas, oh what a genus!
Don’t let the veggies deceive us,
The famed Brussels Sprout,
Is a Cabbage, no doubt,
You can tell by the shape of the leaveses!
Confused by cruciferous greens?
The all have the same set of genes!
Kale and Kohlrabi,
Their good friend the Cauli,
The same thing, just different breeds.
