I wrote a poem about marmite back in 2018 and have added more stanzas and tweaked it a bit.
I like to start each day off right With buttered toast and marmite A vegetable extract that you spread Across the surface of your bread. So what’s in it, what does it contain? Well thiamin, niacin and riboflavin With B twelve vitamins and folic acid The details you'll find on its yellow lid. Also contains barley; wheats, oats and rye Love it or hate you've just got to try There are mores uses apart from toast Like on potatoes with your sunday roast. Or on crackers with your favourite cheese I guarantee your taste buds you'll please And maybe you like stew in cold weather Add some marmite and it will taste better. Or a tasty hot drink that'll keep out the cold A strong savoury taste; it's pure black gold There's much goodness in one small jar But do use it sparingly and it will go far. So the next time that you go out to shop Look for a black jar with a bright yellow top After your first taste you'll want more You'll wonder why you didn't try it before. Written 11th July 2021.
