Ode to Asparagus

Oh strange phallic green vege
You are long
And edgy

You wouldn't make it on a catwalk
With your bendy ways
You're just all stalk

But I love you raw
You taste like peas
And ironically

You make pee
Smell
Disgusting

I've been meaning to do an asparagus pee smell and a beetroot poo colour post for a few days now.

The joys of spring eating I guess.

I still like the Bagel, Bagel, one best...

Though I must admit, .. a very cultured post...

But the purple stuff, isn't that odour free?

Thank you, that reminded me of Shelley.

There isn't nearly enough vegetable themed poetry about... well done!

Thanks team for your supportive words.

You would barely believe that I am the same person who used to go to the Poets Pub at Trekkers and drink $2 pints and scoff at people talking about their cats on sunny windowsills.

In fact, if I recall rightly, I was kicked out of the pub for reciting a rather fabulous leery joke.

Hahahahhahahahhahhaahahhahahaa.
