Life's a pudding full of plums

“Life's a pudding full of plums” is a line from the famous comic opera “The Mikado” by W.S. Gilbert. The line is sung by the character Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner of Titipu, as he contemplates the joys and sorrows of life. This metaphorical comparison of life to a pudding full of plums is a reflection of Gilbert’s wit and humor, as well as his keen observation of human nature.
