Spotted Dick is yummy,
Spotted Dick is grand.
It can reach the tummy,
Or stick to your hand.
Get it by the penny,
Get it by the pound.
I hear there is plenty,
Even for a hound.
Sometimes it is rough,
Sometimes it is creamy.
One can never get enough,
When it's oh so steamy.
Show it at a party,
Show it at the mall.
Eat it with a smartie,
Roll it down the hall.
Serve it on a dish,
Serve it on a platter.
Don't forget to make a wish,
When you see the splatter.
Stock up for cold weather,
Stock up for the sun.
Eat Spotted Dick together,
And everyone has won.
Don't forget to clean,
Don't forget to re-use.
For you could make a scene,
When the garbage men stamp refuse.
If only there were more,
If only it was bigger.
I could make an encore,
Telling of its vigor.
You'll just need two,
To get things done.
Yes, it is true.
You can feed it to a nun.
So step right up,
And give it a lick.
Today you fill your cup,
With some Spotted Dick!
I'm sure you can imagine the cat's delight as he typed this up the other night. For I saw this at a shore here and there and knew it had to be done at my lair. I even shared it with dVerse so they can fill their purse. Doesn't it sound oh so tasty? Now don't be hasty. Pop the top and maybe it's like Pringles and you can't stop. Next time you go to the store ask for some Spotted Dick and I bet you will surely confuse even the smartest hick. Of course you may get a whole lot more on display but we won't go there today. I hear it also might cause gas so Spotted Dick could make me a totting little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.


Spotted dick makes me sick...no really!
ReplyDeleteHow dare you show your face in public after what you did to me on your blog today! First you back this poo eating cat and then you tell a one sided story that makes it look like I betrayed you. You're in for it now Francis!!!!
DeleteLurk is toast!
DeleteGo read his blog darling and defend my honor!!
Deletehaha better watch out by giving that info away
DeleteThe alliance might try to use them to poison you at your bay
He should be proud of what he did
For it made you flip your lid
Works for the cat
As we continue to squash the alliance flat
Dez are you going to put butter on your toast
And let it roast?
I defended him
I hope he makes you go for a swim
With the fishes
That would satsify one of the cat's wishes
We'll be settling this thing at Shenanigans Pub on Friday after my emergency Press Conference.
DeleteI've just threatened Lurk at his place, dahling!
DeleteYou can settle all you want
DeleteFor the cat won't be around to taunt
So it won't have the same effect for me
Guess Lurk is all alone at his sea
You'll be en route to the States I take it. Will you be in on Thursday? I plan on obliterating you and I need you here for it.
DeleteNope away
DeleteAfter today
So I won't be here
For your supposed fear
you mean you is leaving the place unprotected and we can trash it? Or is you giving it to Jaxy again.... she's our general now... access to the keys would be in Alliance's hands!
DeleteLMAO you can have a bash
DeleteJust clean up the trash
As Jaxy won't be here either at my hall
But the cat may still be on call
What are you up to this time Cat, or Pat?
ReplyDeleteJust handing out some spotted dick
DeleteThere is no trick
um yeah...tragic branding with keep this from landing anywhere near my plate...not that i have any hate but...sponge pudding is bad enough to give a shock...
ReplyDeletehahaha I must agree
DeleteNever will end up at my sea
For just from the name
I could not eat it no matter how tame
At Outer Banks, we ate at Dirty Dick's.
DeleteThat sounds like a nasty place
DeleteI would not want to show my face
I found this marketing ploy tragically funny ~ Unfortunately some of us shoppers fall for such tricks and buy it, even though we don't really need it ~ Happy day to you Pat ~
ReplyDeleteYeah many fall for it
DeleteHere and there for a bit
But not sure I would ever fall for this
Spotted dick does not bring about bliss
I feel proud of you for this naughtiness, you know, cat? :PPP
ReplyDeleteI still remember when one of the big US brands launched KENJARA coffee label (it was obviously a coffee from Kenya). It was hilarious here in Serbia, since in our language "kenjara" means "deep shit" :)
Deleteoh dear.
Deleteindeed
DeleteI often wonder why marketing executives don't just google something like that.
Deletehahaha oh you feel proud of the cat?
DeleteI'll have to mark that down at my mat
And save that one
When the zombie foot returns one day for some fun..haha
LMAO oh that be too funny
Want some deep shit? May be runny
hahaha oh dear
Maybe I can market the stuff from my rhyming rear
True they should at least google that
Or maybe they have a strategy but using strat
Oh no, Dez!! Proud of the cat?? Are you running a fever? =PP
DeleteThose pills must be messing with him
DeleteUnless he just agreed on a whim..haha
It's all part of a carefully planned ruse cat. The trap has been sprung and it's far too late for you. So give it up cat!!
DeleteAnnzie is right. And besides I'm off the pills. I only use walrus tranquillizers when me is about to go to sleep, but that's nothing...
Deleteyep, googling things up should be advisable. I'm always shocked when someone in US names their daughter Kara. It means "dick" in Serbian.
DeletePfft away you flap
DeleteAbout a trap
But it will not come to be
For you can never trap me
hahaha well I guess supergirl better watch out
When her real name gets a shout
I should have known the Alliance would have secret plans in place!
Deleteyep, we're not sure what the plan is, but it will surely be nasty and cunning :)
DeleteBy the time you think of it
DeleteThe cat will already have stopped your fit
it, fit, you do repeat the same rhymes awfully a lot, cat....
DeleteWell it is only you
DeleteWhat do you expect me to do?
A new one each time?
Pfft that would just be a crime
Never tried it before (probably due to geographical reasons as well as the name being a totally giggle inducing type)
ReplyDeleteYeah never tried it one bit
DeleteWould prob cause my stomach to have a fit
It's British, right? I've heard of it. And Sticky Dick, too...which is even more hilarious. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL yeah sticky dick is funny as well
DeleteBut I remained more poka dot today at my cell
This is wrong! So very wrong!
ReplyDeleteI do not want spotted dong!
hahaha can't say I blame you
DeleteNot something I would want to come due
But might go good with your steak
Or something else you want to make..haha
Happy Flappy Day, Pat!
ReplyDeleteI know you're sleeping in at your mat.
Oh you'll need lots of energy, alright
when Flappy comes to work tonight!
Yes stupid Flappy will be here
DeleteTo cause flack for my little rhyming rear
But Pat had to get up as well
As he was out getting felt up which was swell
Fixing the stupid neck
Which is knock on wood no longer such a wreck
Hope Flappy produces a story there
Deletethat you can tell at your blog lair.
And glad you finally got that checked
it's really been a pain in the neck.
um...yeah, it has! lol....
I hope she cancels and I can go home
DeleteAway from my crummy work dome..haha
Yeah it has been for months on end
Muscles in there are causing such a trend
And so had to get them massaged out
Little stiff but much better now that I know what it's all about
Just better no come back
For that tingly strat was awful at my shack
I have to admit it cat, you've done a good job with this one. Maybe it's because you've been snip snipped and this is as close to dick as you'll ever come, spotted or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
DeleteHow r u? I am waiting to hear from you. How did it go?
haha I made you and Dez both praise me
DeleteI guess spotted dick causes you both glee
Hmmm I won't go there
And just nod and agree at my lair..haha
To many questions all at once for Anne
Don't you know she needs a plan
And can only answer one at a time
To many and she may mame a mime
Oh my gosh! What in the world is going on over here?? First Dez, now Anne. Is the end o' times near?
DeleteYeah I guess they don't want the cat to attack
DeleteAnd really blow up their alliance shack
The surgery is scheduled for May 22nd, we just heard a few minutes ago. It's a real relieve to get that part settled
Delete@Elsie The cat will get his comeuppance soon enough. I can afford to be nice for one day.
oh, that's next week, my dear. I'm glad that you now at least know the date.
Delete@Elsie
this is just a way to soften the cat up so he won't know what hit him when we launch the attack.
That is good that you got that part all done
DeleteI'll send some good vibes your way as I'm flying back into the sun
The cat will never get a thing
For he rules all at his wing
@ Anne - I'm so glad the surgery is coming up. What a relief.
DeleteGood idea tricking the cat with your sugary sweetness!!
yep, see how he talks about flying and wings, he's already turned into a chicken :)
DeleteI would rather eat the chicken at my sea
DeleteThen every turn into one and fly free
That's something I prefer not to eat
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider it a treat
No surely not a treat
DeleteRather look at zombie feet
Spotted dick? Which shop exactly? Oh my, this is disturbing in all levels.
ReplyDeleteIt's all over Britian I guess
DeleteBut I would never eat such a mess
Although the viking woman likes to chow down on a few
When her trash can lids come off showing all her glory in your view
Spotted dick and pompous twits. that describes about 90% of the population in England.
DeleteLMAO hmmmm you really don't like the english I say
DeleteThey better stay away
I wish I could see a whole bunch of nuns eating spotted dick.
ReplyDeleteBy the way this is really dirty if you don't know what spotted dick is and instead thing its a Dr. Suess characters-----!!!
LMAO yes that would be a sight to see
DeleteAnd cause glee
hahahaha yeah many parents might get offended by it
If I made it a kids book from my pit
Forget the name spotted dick...it's sponge pudding?? Oh my!! Nope, that would never make it past my lips!! Bleh, gag, barf!! What is sponge pudding?!
ReplyDeleteLMAO I agree in every way
DeleteWould not be a food I'd try at my bay
Just the name curls my toes
And sponge pudding, maybe God only knows
As if you don't know the food
It must be rather crude..haha
This is hilarious, a Spotted Dick!
ReplyDeleteI'd rather just give it a flick
Would throw up just thinking about it
Wasted efforts, not taken up one bit
Hank
LMAO I would throw up too
DeleteAs soon as it came into view
Could not eat it at all
And chuck it down the hall
As delightful and grand as it sounds, I think I'll pass on the spotted dick.
ReplyDeleteLOL probably a good choice to make
DeleteNot something in which I would want to partake
I guess I can't say much. I just wrote a complaint about mustard on burgers..but let me rant and rave anyway. They also have bangers and mash...they serve eggs over baked beans...so sponge pudding called spotted dick doesn't surprise me. I'm just glad they don't put mustard on it LMAO
ReplyDeleteWell as daydreamer said below
DeleteHere at my show
They put custard on it
So is that like mustard any bit?.lol
It doesn't surprise me much either at my hall
But the cat still have to give it a call
And maybe mustard does work well
For some may think adding it is swell
well every dick does need a lubricant.....
DeleteReally had to go there?
DeleteAt my lair..haha
After Dez's comment, I have nothing to add LMAO!!!! =)))
DeleteYou lost for words
DeleteHmph must have fly to coup with the birds
me just says what everybody thinks, but doesn't have the guts to say :)
DeleteI suppose that is true
DeleteBut the cat will say anything he wishes and put it out there to view
oh my and oh dear...
Deletelol...
Geez two saying out of you
DeleteDez must really want to turn you blue
he's left me speechless
DeleteI can't even rhyme.
lol.
hahaha damn first a slurpy tongue
DeleteAnd now your rhyming bell has rung
lol...
Deletesigh...
Really lost for words
DeleteYou need to go get some inspiration from the birds
Spotted dick was invented as a cheap sponge pudding LONG before anyone in the UK ever used the word dick in connection with a certain body part. LOLOL That's why it's always been called that because it was so named first! It is delicious with warm custard on it. :)
ReplyDeleteNice one Pat!
Lets hear it for Spotted Dicks LOLOL
LOL never using the word dick with a body part
DeleteThat is like never having a walmart
Hasn't been the case much for me
As I have always heard it at my sea
Warm custard on it just sounds bad
Makes it sound even more disurbing to this lad..haha
Spotted dick? Next thing you know you'll be asking me to smoke a fag.
ReplyDeleteLOL well why not do both at the same time
DeleteOr inbetween drags as that would be sublime
Last time I tried to feed my spotted dick to a nun, I got 90 days in jail. Apparently she has to be "willing."
ReplyDeleteAlso, we'd love to be a part of your next story, whenever that may be. Keep us posted, and also, if you need anything from us, drop us a line!
LOL or maybe it wasn't thrilling
DeleteOr you didn't have top billing hahaha
Sounds like a plan
You will join the clan
Or the next one
When it is spun
feed it to a nun...smiles...we don't have spotted dick over here in germany..but i know no nun anyway who i could feed it to...smiles
ReplyDeletehahaha I can ship you a nun
DeleteIf you want to try such fun
OMG! Spotted Dick, my Mum's favourite. How is that such an inappropriate thing to say?!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why people think it is such a mean thing to say
DeleteCan eat some spotted dick all day
I never heard about this stuff before!! and that name spotted dick:(
ReplyDeleteSee now you need to make some at your place
DeleteAnd show a recipe to makes one heart race
Oh dear
Could cause fear
you sre so funny dear;(
DeleteYou know you want to make one
DeleteOh dear if be such fun
Oh, those naughty English with their Spotted Dick! Bubble and squeak is also a popular pub dish, but I am more of a Treacle Tart person myself. Such very very funny write, Pat!
ReplyDeletehaha at least that sounds better than spotted dick
DeleteNot sure how such a name was able to stick
This is the funniest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteGlad the tale I spun
DeleteWas such fun
lol. ROFL. I think I'll pass. lol Don't know why but I couldn't help thinking of that Jack black movie where he invented this product that evaporated poo. Love the info-mercial-esque feel and flow to your spotted dick rhyming show. D'verse indeed, and I am sure those hicks would be confused, that line was classic.
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah the hicks would do things I don't want to know
DeleteIf spotted dicks were to show
I think you are right to take a pass
And that be no fun to have the poo evaporated from my little rhyming ass
I need it to show
So it I can throw..haha
There's only one thing spotted dick makes me do...
ReplyDeleteRun to the doctor for some penicillin!!!
haha yeah that would be cause for alarm
DeleteAs it could really do harm
.. and I swim on a not sinking island--- ;-)
ReplyDeleteha ho!
Well it may still sink
DeleteAnd bring you to the brink
Hahahahahahaha.... enough said.
ReplyDeleteNow put that thing to bed!
haha sure that is enough said
DeleteDon't let it go to your head
Hahahaha, I always did think spotted dick was a hilarious name for a pudding.
ReplyDelete"Get it by the penny,
Get it by the pound"
Nice touch, gives the poem a bit of a British nursery rhyme feel.
Yeah I rifted on the in for a penny in for a pound
DeleteFigured it worked well and gave it a go this round
i have a spotty sausage dog called "Dick"... he likes cats! :D
ReplyDeleteGlad he likes cats at his sea
DeleteEven though that name might make him flee
I enjoyed the rhymes a lot today, Pat; but have no interest in the product. LOL.
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah I agree with you
DeleteAs the name just makes it seem so ewww
Spotted dick haha nice I'f I ever see one of those at the supermarket I'll probably pick one up just for fun... now idk about eating it
ReplyDeletehahaha yeah be funny to have a can in the cupboard for fun
DeleteSure that would make guests run
i'm sure my dogs would like this right out of the cat i mean the can
ReplyDeleteradiation rampage
Out of the cat
DeleteOnly comes shii err it I mean strat
Okay, the cat can even rhyme about Spotted Dick and still make a seriously awesome post, this stuff is amazing Pat, well done as always, it really made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI have a serious question for other readers of this because I really wonder how anyone can follow you and not help read all of the awesome rhymes you write, everyone who skim reads your posts and leaves a comment pretending to have read really are missing out, I wouldn't lie!
Yeah such fun to do
DeleteAs I laughed all the way through
As I wrote it up
And the cat can rhyme anything without a hiccup
Well R is the main one that does that
Most other read at my mat
Besides maybe penguin man
And those other spammers that can go to the trash can
Like a few here and there
R wannabes at my lair..haha
I kind of want to be as cool as R is haha, maybe I should start being lazy in commenting!
DeleteWell then you'd get made fun of galore
DeleteHere at my shore
I never knew you could get it in a can...i must go and buy some
ReplyDeletehaha go right ahead
DeleteShow it off and bring others dread
I prefer Treacle sponge and custard.
ReplyDeleteAt least it sounds better than the dick
DeleteSo might not be as ick
There was a race car driver long ago whose name was Dick Trickle. Seriously...not a stage name, either. What was HIS mother thinking? Oh dear. lol...
DeleteLOL she must have been high from the drugs afterwords or something like that
DeleteTo ever name him such a thing at her mat
Funny...and I am speechless :)
ReplyDeletehaha leaving on speechless is great
DeleteSuch a fun fate
OMG! What the heck was Heinz thinking to name a product, Spotted Dick. LOL!
ReplyDeletehahaha I guess they weren't thinking
DeleteOr in a bottle someone was sinking
I really think you should eat your spotted dick with some toad in a hole --I mean THE hole.
ReplyDeleteWhile you're there, share a dog on a stick-good for the soul (so I'm told.) k.
I'm not sure this is such a good one for the children's books. K.
That sounds nasty too
DeleteRight after you
The dog on a stick
To me is ick
And yeah won't use it for the kiddie lane
As many would pop a vein
Spotted dick certainly doesn't sound very yummy...
ReplyDeleteNot something I want in my tummy
DeleteSounds like it came from a mummy
worst name for a food, ever.
ReplyDeletehaha yeah not very clever
DeleteAnd I'd eat it never
Perhaps the can is the best place for this product. Wonderful fun rhyming for a truly unfortunate reality, Pat.
ReplyDeleteYeah the can is the best place indeed
DeleteOnce the label you read
the t-shirt would have been perfect without the image of the actual spotted dick :p
ReplyDeletehaha but the image had to come
DeleteAfter I gave it a hum
Brillianr Pat. My mother made the best spotted-dick in the world. Bet loads of us have nostalgic memories of youthful foods.
ReplyDeleteNot sure it's something I could ever eat
DeleteBut glad it was a treat
And yeah many can remember through food
Although most have names some might not find rude
Ha, i would never eat anything with the word dick in the title, well maybe if it was a life and death situation in a jail cell. YOu should write jingles PAT, age restricted of course. . If you got to a park at the wrong time of night you can spot dick, or turn on the tv and you can see some dicks talking about politics, not sure if they have spots though. Very funny poem.
ReplyDeleteLOL yes dicks of all kinds are everywhere
DeleteSome not so rare
Others think they are big and brave
As they give a cocky wave
Writing jingles would be fun
Not sure how that gets done
But the cat could surely do that
Whether kiddie or adult at his mat
pudding that is sponge
ReplyDeletemaybe the cat will lunge
no more on the shelves
we'll just help ourselves
spotted dick is a new trick
he'll be gone with a good hard flick
...never heard of this produce before. what a riot:)
Yeah you bring that here
DeleteAnd the cat would have fear
Glad I taught something new
For you to view
Give it a try
Spotted dick might be good with a french fry
This can of spotted dick
ReplyDeleteI swear, it cannot be beat
Reminds me of something sick
So I promise never to eat
Yes I promise never to eat as well
DeleteFor it would be nasty as hell
You know I've seen Spotted Dick in the store, but I must admit it doesn't look all that appetizing. However, this poem may have just changed the way I look at Spotted Dick forever. Though I will also forever chuckle at the words Spotted Dick because I am a perpetual youth.
ReplyDeleteYes I will forever chuckle at them too
DeleteAs I am quite immature at such things at my zoo
But it is too fun to pass up
So I rhymed as I drink from my cup
