At first I thought perhaps I ought
not to mention how much I like salmon,
a dish which here, the desert so near,
does not go down well with backgammon.
So heed me well, it’s seeds that’ll tell
(as it were) the camels from the goats,
you just won’t find (not on anyone’s mind)
health cookies made from nuts-n-oats.
Instead, dried watermelon, pumpkin and sunflower
seeds and others too varied to count,
the husks of which, hour after hour,
with their front teeth folks split, and spit out.
I’m a right dumb cow, coz I never learnt how
(It’s ok – only myself I’ve vilified)
But I will re-enact til their method I’ve cracked,
hoping one day to feel less sillified!
