The currant lady

 

is in high spirits as she sees

everybody do his bit;

gathering currants

during the grand pick.

 

They drop them

in a bowl and steer

them round, till spats

splash everywhere.

 

It won’t surprise you

that after that they’ll party,

the animals, the gnomes,

the elves and of course the lady
