veggie carols

See amid the winter snow,
Ripe tomatoes in a row.
See the tender pips appear,
As you squeeze them from the rear.

Hail, thou ever-blessed tom!
Hail, redemption's happy pomme!
Sing through all your five a day,
Pommes d'amour are here to stay!

God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay.
Our caulies, leeks, and aubergines
Will help on Christmas Day.
To save us all from seizing up,
We have our five a day.

Oh-oh, helpings of cabbage Savoy!
Cabbage Savoy!

Oh-oh, hell pings of cabbage Savoy!
