Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Manna-Marmite-Or What Is It

Tommy’s battle is in the bulge.
So much marmite in his pantry.
Celebrating, he does indulge.
Souper Choir laments in chantry.

What is this edible cement?
I’ve not the wherewithal to find.
Is it a sin not to try? Hell-bent?
To Tommy, I better be kind.

I opened the black jar with the
bright yellow lid for marmite cause
and Tommy all I saw was thee
reflected in the jar - your jaws.

I think I’ll skip the marmite here.
I need to chew on edibles
of real nutrition without fear.
Cost of marmite’s incredible.

Lindsay Laurie January 10, 2022 at 3:51 PM Hello Kim ... it's like tar spread on a slice of bread and butter. Irresistible but I prefer vegemite as I guess that's what I was brought up on - thank you Kim - Lindsay Kim Rodrigues January 10, 2022 at 4:03 PM :) Can’t relate. I liked apple butter on my toast

Debra L Brown January 7, 2022 at 5:15 PM Hello! I see you tried Marmite. I've never heard of it. I'm not sure if you can buy that in the US. I'd be willing to try it, though. Blessings and excellent writing. Debra Kim Rodrigues January 7, 2022 at 5:35 PM I’ve never tried it, Debra…lol. Thank you!
