Best Marmite Poems

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...

Deb an Aussie girl swears by vegemite
Now personally I don't think she's right
She's got in her head
It's the only spread
But for me nothing on earth beats MARMITE

It’s dreadful, a disaster, it’s a terrible calamity
Housewives going frantic for the thing they seek but cannot see
Supermarket workers helping those who shout the most
Try their best to find a jar of spread to spread on toast

But all the angry faces glaring at the empty...

You are definitely the man,
Your poetic talents reaching far,
Your taste buds tantalized by a

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

Marmite or Vegemite, which is the best?
If you dont know then you won't pass the test
One is a milder and lighter brown paste
While the other is darker with a meatier taste
So if you've not tried them please give them a go
Or ask Deb or Tom...

I like to start my day off right
With buttered toast and marmite
A vegetable extract that you spread
Across the surface of your bread.

So what’s it made off, what does it contain
Well thiamin, niacin and riboflavin
With B twelve vitamins and folic acid
Details you’ll find on the lid.

Marmite Man was enjoying breakfast, marmite on toast
When the officer on the bridge shouted "it's the Aussie coast"
The alarm for action stations sounded, men ran here and there
It was time to flush out the rebel vixens cowering in their lair.

Port Melbourne was the first target,...

So Marmites great leader has spoken
He finally came out of his jar
His soldiers which are yet to be named
Are travelling to our Aussie land afar 

Sir Tom states Vegemite is the poor mans Marmite
That is not quite true
It’s actually the other way around
As Marmite is...

I know things have been quiet on the “ Mite-y Spread Front”
But do not be dismayed
Yeasty business brews in the Vegemite Camp
That is all I have to say….

It will take some time to come to fruition 
But Marmite Man beware
“Remember sleep with both eyes open”
Always...

Sir Tom aka Marmite Man
It’s obvious you are the people’s choice
“But do not” rest on your laurels
As I too have a voice!!

I’ve noticed when addressing the people
There’s a recurring whinge of …“Deb broke the treaty”
You need to toughen up Marmite Man
Stop behaving like a precious...

It's often been dubbed as the poor man's Marmite
That substitute breakfast spread called Vegemite
Vegemite vixens are now preparing to fight
But they're onto a loser, Tom's ready to bite.

His legions are heading for the land of the roo
It will be the mother of all battles, I'm...

Riding in an airplane
Skiing down snowy slopes
Racing across the ocean
Sliding away from loss
Painting a lovely canvas
Sculpting something nice
Singing to the top of my lungs
Playing guitar all night
Writing a literary novel
Smiling despite the sorrow
Listening to my instincts
Dancing through the rain
Laughing away a heartache
Breathing joy into another
Creating...

Soup Creek Toasts
Marmite cocktails are delicious I've heard
They are the hippest cocktails being served
So to raise a toast 
Tell Jenna the host
Mayor Tom's sure to be shaken and stirred.
