Last night I was reading a recipe for Brussels Sprout Ice Cream. It looked awful ... a couple of scoops of green ice cream in a cone with two Brussels perched on the top.
So this came to me...
If only they had been a bean
A carrot or an aubergine
A shiny pea
That should've been the sheen
Alas 'twas not to be
If only it had been less tight
Less like a first clenched for a fight
An open heart
Should've been their part
Alas 'twas not to be
If only they had been less smelly
Less pungent on exit from your belly
A scented rose
Kind to the nose
Alas 'twas not to be
If only they had tasted great
Not been the cause of so much hate
A gourmet delight
A flavoursome bite
That makes you sh'te...
Alas 'twas not to be
