A Poem for Foodies

I dislike broccoli spinach and kale

Can’t digest ’em even when full of ale

Hate yogurt, said to be good for your gut

Can’t swallow beet or sweet potato

Sausages dripping with fat (Unsplash) by Hasmik Olson

The sight of garlic or turmeric induce colic

Turmeric (Unsplash) by Tayler Kiser

As does the infamous woke-fare tofu

But they’re superfood, they’re good for you

..

Love Scottish tablets, Mars bars fried in batter

Bacon, sausages, swimming in fat or butter

I don’t but oughta despise pork pies,

Crave for curries followed by Indian pastries

Motichoor Laddoo (wikipedia)

Chocolates, Belgian, Herschey or Swiss

But they say give ’em a miss

They should be taboo, they’re bad for you

But I like lobster, caviare, adore asparagus

They’re superfood, keep you hearty and healthy

But sadly they’re only for the wealthy

And not for the likes of us
