Mish and Mash
I love to cook a mish and mash
A pineapple avocado smash
Cranberry and potato soup
A pea and parsnip ice-cream scoop
A pepper zucchini chocolate slice
Special strawberry chilli rice
Pizza topped with jelly beans
Devil’s food cake served with greens.
I love to cook a mish and mash
Dinner’s done now – got to dash.
