The Land of Kale Much Maligned Nr

There's a land to visit in your dreams a place that really has, it seems, no Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, no cabbage, broccoli or sauer- -kraut or parsnips or broad beans, and where peas truly are the only greens. Spuds they bake there have some crunch so they go quite well with Sunday lunch. And, to get apple pie or creamy whips you only have to eat your chips. So close your eyes and try to find The Land Of Kale Much Maligned, where Popeye, building superpowers, shuns spinach and instead devours, guess what, to give him strength supreme? Yes! Lots of scones with jam and cream!

Heed a word from the "unconservative": visit that magical land as often as you may but gradually ease out of it. Meanwhile, who needs veggies when scones with jam and cream heighten the senses? Good writing, Red :)

Ahhhhhh...... A scone with jam and cream, Would only happen in my dream, For I'm on a diet so dumb, To reduce my slightly enlarged bum ;-) xxxxxx
