Cause Garlic is an awesome herb with benefits galore,
It’s nutritious, but
adds flavour and detoxifies and more!
Improves bone health, low
calories, while tasting oh, so grand,
May lower risk of heart
disease, (I’ve learned this one firsthand!)
It combats ‘bugs’,
dementia, may even help with sports!
Reduces pressure, lengthens
life—according to reports.
And so, because it’s
helpful and would n’er our health betray,
We’re joining here
together: Giving GARLIC its own day…
My dog ate all my garlic; he thinks it tastes just right,
But now you have to understand, his bark’s worse than his bite!
Some garlic in a salad left poor ‘Drac’ without a pray-er,
Another victim of Buffet: the Vam-pire Slay-er.
There is a garlic diet, makes you smell from breath and skin,
You don’t lose much, but face it, from a distance, you look thin!
I do garlic magic! First I crush a clove or so,
Add basil, parmesan and oil and blend and shout, “Pesto!”
If you were raised by garlic, from your toes up to your head,
You’re justified in saying that: You are ‘garlic bred’.
At lunch, we two were in dispute, another friend stopped by,
He took all of our garlic bread. Wish he’d stop taking sides!
How’d the Hipster burn his mouth? (I’ll take you now to school…)
Well, he tried eating garlic bread…before it was cool.
Where do garlics go to drink? The sal-ad bar.
Why’s the garlic naked? No cloves left. I’ve gone too far…
A recipe for garlic toast: (I’ll stop, though I’ve had fun!)
Just raise a glass to everything that garlic’s done!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi,
me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?
Next week, we’ll have
to dream a bit
As on the beach we try to sit!
Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?
We'd love to welcome you!
