Good Ol' Tom's Maramite

As a child I would tremble and shudder with fright Praying Please Lord not Aunt Beas's Marmalade tonight Always slick, slimy and hard Made of lime peels and used lard I was still glad it wasn't Ol' Tom's Maramite 11/29/22

This made me chuckle, Rob: I tease him with Deb about Vegemite. I guess he hasn’t ridden over yet from Milt’s Creek to see this one. He may not want to offend old Aunt Bea. Ha ha SuZ

Lol, I want to try Good Ol' Tom's Marmite, I'm sure it's delicious! I love your playfulness with Tom. I'm sure Tom will have a hoot!
