My first poem....

Had to write a poem for my Pop Songs & Poetry class and wasn't quite ready to write a deep and meaningful love sonnet so... Behold, my "Ode to Vegemite" (written around the time I may have received a replenishing jar from Mum!):

"Black tar housed in yellow and red,
Salty wonder we spread on bread,
A zing on the tongue,
Ejoyed by old and young,
Oh Vegemite, you're so right!

Now rare as gold,
Nowhere is it sold,
As addictive as 'coke',
Or the need for a smoke,
Oh Vegemite, you're so right.

A certain craving it sates,
Should be called 'vege-mate',
Can't live without the stuff,
But convincing others is tough,
Oh Vegemite, you're so right.

Mine shipped from abroad,
Stockpiles I horde,
No substitute I've found,
Searched the world round,
Oh Vegemite, you're so right."
