Organic

My husband bought some ice cream – 
Rather costly, but on sale.
“Organic” said the label
So assumptions did prevail…

Perhaps it would be healthy
(Though we usually don’t care)
Or made of some ingredients
Imbuing it with flair.

Instead, it tasted lousy.
Though the package called it “mint,”
Of that specific flavor
There was not the slightest hint.

The “chocolate” chips were carob,
Lacking any chocolate flavor.
I filled my bowl but sadly,
It was not a treat to savor.

The lesson to be learned is that
No matter the expense,
“Organic” equals not much taste.
(To purists – no offense.)
