Christine Watts Poet Light Verse

Vegemite Please

Vegemite Please

Upon your toast use Vegemite
The flavour is a great delight
It's made with yeast and beef extract
is thick and black to be exact
you might think it's an awful sight.

But after you take your first bite
I'm sure the flavour will excite
upon your tongue with this contact
use Vegemite.

Your taste buds then will all ignite
For they at last have seen the light.
No jam or other spread in fact,
Will ever now taste buds attract
At last a healthy appetite
use Vegemite.
