Served up at Christmas are so nice
A seafood platter starts the meal
Happiness on a fisher’s reel!
Glossy pink with coal black eyes
Each chilled out body proudly lies
In haphazard fashion to our view;
In no time there are very few …
As eager guests pile up their plates
At once - here no one waits;
Large pots of mayo tinged with red,
And lemon juice, are quickly spread
On festive plates; all glasses raised
The Barossa Valley tipple praised
Australia is well known for wine;
Cheers, everyone – it is sublime!
The Ozzie style for festive fare
Eaten in the sun’s bright glare
Means a cold buffet is the norm
With star of the show – the prawn!
