That Marmite Stuff
That marmite stuff I’ve never had:
I’ve never had it in a jar. Never had it in a car. How could I? UK is so far!
Not on land and not afloat, nor paired with cheese like from a goat.
I haven’t had it in a kitchen using my old chef’s position.
I haven’t had that stuff Marmite. I haven’t had it day or night.
Not in a chair nor on my couch; nor with my spouse who’s such a grouch.
Not with my cats nor with my dog. I’ve had it not… and I’m a hog!!
I haven’t had it anywhere. Now tell me, is that very fair?
I haven’t had it in a diner. Would it make my meals taste finer?
Not in a restaurant or cafe, nor at a place that serves buffet.
I haven’t had it off the shelf or seen it eaten by an elf.
I haven’t had it in my yard nor with my friends, each one a bard.
I haven’t had that marmite stuff, not fully clothed nor in the buff!
Not on a cracker, nor a biscuit. Should I? Could I? Dare I risk it?
It’s not in stores here, not one bit. Would I “love it or hate it”?
I haven’t had it warm or cold. To eat it I was never told!
I haven’t had it as “Our Mate.” (I hear it’s high in glutamate).
I hear that it’s not gluten-free, but great for B deficiency!
I haven’t had Marmite XO or all the ways we Yanks don’t know.
That stuff Marmite I’ve never had.
I ask you . . .is that good or bad??

(sorry if I got anything wrong about this product. I was going to list things i learned from Wikipedia but decided instead to parody Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham)
