A Spicy Relationship

ROSEMARY THYME was walking down the street when she CINNAMON CUMIN, who's name was SWEET BASIL. He was from OREGANO. She fell in love with him ALUM the way, PARSLEY because of his good looks. But her POPPYSEED her...ANISE mad!! Her sister GINGER tried to intervene, but was PEPPERED with retorts and a big family RHUBARB ensued. SALT was rubbed into the wounds when her boyfriend, PUNKIN SPICE, joined in and the fray MUSHROOMED. He, too, wanted to be with her in wedded ONION. POPPYSEED to it that they couldn't. Some NUTMEG also got involved to make things difficult. So, all four of them decided to elope...and left on the SAGE for OREGANO.
