Vegemite, the great
Australian spread,
Which all foreigners
View with dread,
It tastes quite nice
When it is taken
With a healthy dose
Of moderation
The taste of it is
Quite strong, you see
So one thing always
Perplexes me
When introducing people
To the stuff
Must we always
Act so tough??
Why do Aussies
Spread it so thick
It is not mortar
Nor the bread a brick
Just a mild taste
Of Vegemite and cheese
Not overpowering but
a gentle tease
My toast and sandwiches
I enjoy this way
And so, to you,
This I say:
When first trying it
Don't use too much
Apply it with
This is the secret
To enjoying your lunch
So follow my advice
And time will show
That on you, this
food will surely grow.
