I YEARN to bite on a Colloid With phosphorus, iron and Beans; I want to be filled with Calcium, grilled, And Veg'table Vitamines! I yearn to bite on a Colloid (Though I don't know what it means) To line my inside with Potassium, fried, And Veg'table Vitamines. I would sate my soul with spinach And dandelion greens. No eggs, nor ham, nor hard-boiled clam, But Veg'table Vitamines. Hi, Waiter! Coddle the Colloids With phosphorus, iron and Beans; Though Mineral Salts may have some faults, Bring on the Vitamines. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOMAGE TO SEXTUS PROPERTIUS: 2 by EZRA POUND DEATH'S JEST-BOOK: SAILORS' [OR MARINERS'] SONG by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES JOHANNES AGRICOLA IN MEDITATION by ROBERT BROWNING WHEN HE WOULD HAVE HIS VERSES READ by ROBERT HERRICK ROBIN HOOD, TO A FRIEND by JOHN KEATS SONNET by MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI THE SONNET by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH |
