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.
