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 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.

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

Hey Mister Tom Cunningham,
You are definitely the man,
Your poetic talents reaching far,
Your taste buds tantalized by a
Marmite jar!

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
bright yellow lid for marmite cause
and Tommy all I saw was thee
reflected in the jar - your jaws.
I think I’ll skip the marmite here.
I need to chew on edibles
of real nutrition without fear.
Cost of marmite’s incredible.

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 and they'll let you know ;-)
Dedicated to Tom Cunningham (Sir Tom's Marmite Army) and to Deb M (The Queen of the Kingdom of Vegemite)

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, the Vegemite factory
A B52 bomber dropped its payload to inflict untold misery
The factory was obliterated ; the mission a success
All that was left was glass and bricks with a large gooey mess.
Their food supply now cut off they'd have no stomach to fight
But Marmite Man is generous and distributed marmite
Very soon white flags were everywhere, in every city and town
There was pockets of resistance but they were quickly put down.
Some rebel vixens were captured and exiled to Tasmania
The victorious Marmite empire expanded taking in Australia
Meanwhile there's a manhunt for the Queen of Vegemite
With a generous reward of a thousand jars, of delicious Marmite.

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.
With barley, wheat, oats and rye
Love it or hate you’ve got to try
So there you have it I have you told
Its pure treasure, delicious black gold.
So next time that you go out to shop
Look for the black jar with a yellow top
You won’t be disappointed I’ll guarantee
I don’t own any shares no need to thank me.

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 something beautiful
Planting seeds of goodness
Awaking to the starry skies
Drifting to sleep on a lullaby
Haunting the dreams of my true love
And, spreading Marmite on my toast

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 what you wipe of your shoe!
Our bright yellow lids are off and we are ready
For our Vegemite we will forever protect and defend
The Vegemite Vixens will show no mercy
We will battle these inferior Marmite soldiers til the end!!
If any of our Marmite enemies are captured
They will be stripped naked and disciplined
By covering their own body with marmite
Then left naked in the hot Aussie desert
To let nature do it’s thing!!
We await your arrival our butter knives in hand
With toast, butter and confident anticipation
Ready to wipe that disgusting marmite of your face
And spread Vegemite throughout all nations!

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.

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 “yes” always….Be prepared!!
Just a friendly reminder Sir Tom
That we will continue this when the time is right
Our ongoing little banter feud
Of which is the superior Mite!!
So, NO resting on your laurels Marmite Man
Make sure your jar lids are tightly screwed on
As soon you will hear melodic Vegemite voices singing
The “Vegemite is pure delight, Marmite is pure sh**e” song!!

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 sweetie!
You write such powerful words
Though empty words is all they are
Where were you when I challenged you?
Hiding in your Marmite jar!!

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 not kidding you
Already hundreds of refugees are heading for the coast
The Marmite empire will be victorious, that's no idle boast.
Vegemite spread is used widely to keep flies off of food
But Marmite on toast for breakfast puts you in a good mood
I'll give the Vegemite vixens one chance to surrender
Or I'll teach them a lesson, one they'll always remember.
Any Vegemite Vixens caught will be punished mercilessly
Force fed delicious black Marmite for all their eternity
So lay down your jars now and you'll be so glad you did
Or face the wrath of the empire with the bright yellow lid.

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??
