Rowan is a berry that it's extractions are used to
make sorbit acid a preservative used in baking.
Sorbus Aucuparia, also called mountain ash
is not related to the ash tree.it is one of the many
plants in the familiar Rosaceae family that also
contains roses, apples, and raspberries, and that
I have written about here so often.
Rowan trees are one of the most eye-catching tree
it's berries look like cherry tomatoes.While not deadly
poisonous, raw rowan berries contain parasorbic acid
and cyanogenic glycosides, which can cause significant
stomach upset, vomiting, diarrhea, and potential
kidney issues if eaten in large amounts, but cooking
(or freezing) converts these compounds to safe sorbic
acid, making them edible for jams, jellies
, and syrup.

Nervousness comes on
stomach upset and sweating
pulse is racing fast
Trapped in elevator I'm a posh upstart
My stomach upset from garlic tart
La-di-da eyes look me over
Then I realise I am not quite sober.
Boozy belch from cocktail hour
Does vodka really smell that sour?
Doing my best but I let one rip
Trapped in hell don't give me lip.

To some fears there's neither rhyme nor reason
No remedy or cure, nor age or season
A phone (call for a date) can weigh 1,000 pounds
A weather-beaten house, the haunt of eerie sounds
A request to speak impromptu can the stomach upset
A severe case of butterflies one can get
Some folks suffer from acrophobia
Others tremble at visions of agoraphobia
I once asked a Sage what he feared most to see
He smiled and said, "If God ever stops loving me"
Slurp and Then Usurp
Then there was the time that I did slurp
Up all of the things which I would usurp;
Pretty son get,
Stomach upset,
When I forgot to stick feet in each stirrup.

A zebra looked in the mirror one day
His stripes were fading from black to green
His eyes looked sallow and his stomach upset
Like when he ate too much candy on Halloween
He took some brown paint and covered his green stripes
Remembering the color wheel from third grade art
Brown plus green equals a return to black
He looked in the mirror and said, “Gee whiz! I’m smart!”

For my grandson Sebastian
Words on a T-shirt of a preschooler
‘If you think I’m bad, blame my dad’
Cause less concern about the child
Than the role model that he had
Unfortunate enough to witness
Shirts with verbiage of neglect
A few too many that left my
Mouth open, stomach upset
The typical ones ‘Pretty princess with an attitude,’ and
‘If you think I’m cute you should see my dad’
Do not bother my core
As a few others had
‘Doing more harm than good,’ made my eyes roll
‘I want what I want,’ made me mad
‘And your point is?’ made me shake my head
‘The world owes me a living,’ made me sad
Although I slightly laughed when I read
‘I pee in the pool’
It still sends the message
The parent is a fool
‘Aren’t you glad I’m not your kid’
Made me think it couldn’t get any worse
Until I read ‘Do not resuscitate’
And heard myself curse
