The Asparagus Lesson
Yes, those are the facts! ...Puny facts!
Who needs FACTS when we have POETRY?!
Ladles and Jellyspoons of the jury, I present to you...
ODE TO APARAGUS
Don't make a fuss of asparagus
It deserves our loving trust-
Nefertiti never paused,
She had it named the "Food of Gods."
Romans sailed "Asparagus Fleets"
Enjoying their perennial treat.
They also learned to figure out
To store it in the frozen Alps,
And the French Louis Quatorze
Started growing it indoors
Growing nearly a foot a day.
For twenty years- It's here to stay.
So don't make a fuzz of asparagus
Don't scream and shout or even cus
It has a pristine ancestry
So let's forgive the smelly pee.
Read the pages with the facts-- Puny Facts
What a whirl of agriscience and history they tell!
How they grumble, rumble, jumble, in the classroom
