If you want to try something ambitious
Add petals to make meals delicious
Take some advice
On making meals nice
And serve up a dish that’s nutritious.

I know cos’ I have to the assurance
Of a certain blog writer, Sue Lawrence.
A web release states
That flowers are great
For cooking: I don’t need insurance

So when next you’re starting to forage
Try marigolds, roses or borage.
Enhance your provender
With nasturtiums, lavender
And maybe a small dose of courage.

When it’s time for the next Mother’s Day
Do not buy a bouquet or nosegay
But sit back and savour
That delicate flavour.
Don’t send flowers; eat them, I say!.
