On the first day of Christmas
I was given a Christmas pudding made of chocolate.
On the second day of Christmas
I was given a new camera
By about the seventh or eighth day of Christmas
I’d begun to nibble at the Christmas pudding.
I hadn’t thought to take a picture of it first.
From what I could see, it was made of Maltesers
And I started to eat some
I ate quite a lot from the side that doesn’t show in the picture
And it occurred to me
That although it was now a lot smaller, it was not noticeably less heavy
In fact, it was far too heavy to all be made of Maltesers
What’s in the middle of the pudding?
Yes, a chocolate orange.
Actually, if I trimmed the bottom off the picture you probably wouldn’t know I’d been eating it – but it was quite a bit higher before I started.
