"Don't try to teach pigs to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pigs."

Beunos dias, Señor Calamar.

"Three singing pigs say LA LA LA!"

Ohhh! In that picture, there's also a Cow and a Lamb !!

My cue...
----
Claribell and Larry

Claribell, the cow, settled down for the night.
‘Quiet, isn’t it?’, said Larry the lamb.
‘Yes, lovely’, said Claribell,
‘I think I might dream tonight,
are you warm enough?’’
‘I’m fine’, said Larry, ‘nighty night’.
‘Sleep well’, said Claribell.

‘ZZZZZZZ’ was all that could be heard.

Then suddenly a knock on the door startled them.
‘What’s that?’ said Larry sleepily
‘I don’t know’, Claribell said, half-awake,
‘let’s go and see’.

They went to the door
and saw a man and woman
and a maid called Jane from the Inn.
Jane said, ‘Can you make room for two more,
the Inn’s rather full tonight?’

Claribell and Larry looked at each other,
‘Oh well, they sighed, if we have to….’
But they couldn’t sleep,
there was so much going on,
noises from Mary, Joseph pacing up and down,
Jane rushing to and from the Inn with water
and towels, then suddenly a baby was born!

Shepherds appeared looking a bit dazed,
people dropped by from the Inn,
three men from the East appeared bearing gifts.
Jane popped back again with cloths to cover the babe.

Claribell looked at Larry and said,
‘Can’t we have a bit of peace?’

The time has come the Walrus said
To speak of many things
Of padded posts and padded cods
And whether pigs can sing

Of those who walk Vancouver's streets
And puzzle what's in a name
Hung with gay asurdity
And mirth that's quite insane

Indeed, you can get Green Tea with Honey, Lemon or Orange at Hung Gay Enterprises!

And now Christmas has reached the Prehistoric Planet, the Women are busy preparing...

[Sarah42]

I wonder what they're preparing? Christmas Cake or Mince Pies?

Neither ! Christmas Wotpp's !

[El_Squid]

Perhaps they are cooking up some that Christmas Padding, or is it a Plum Padding?

[houseisland]

This thread seem largely to have been composed of lard or some lard-like substance, so perhaps it is suet padding that is being cooked up:

Oh I (trying not to get upset because this thread has been described as lard-ish) see that Recipe Site need a photo of a Suet Pudding, so wonder who can find one of those, the Women on the Planet or off the Planet are rather busy at the mo... because in the UK on the 21st, Civil Partnerships could happen, so there are a few ceremonies to get over .. and back to Puddings ..

No reason for any upset. Just a little needling, lard needling, some of which is of a self-reflexive nature:

More suet padding (no good pics, though):

Methinks I joke about being upset ...

But the thought of Savoury Yorkshire Pudding, eww, can we have a Sweet one?

And this delightful little phrase sprang out in the Sea of Links, 'For some people, searching for the perfect pudding, is an unobtainable but enjoyable lifelong quest'.....

So I wonder what is THAT unobtainable but enjoyable lifelong quest?

I daren't put mine...

[houseisland]

the Sea of Links

A kenning meaning a large chafing dish full of bangers?

[El_Squid]

A padding I will go! A padding I will go! Hi, ho, the merry oh! (You get the picture: +1)
