AUBERGINES by BEN SARA OF SANTAREN

First Line: FINE TO TASTE THEY ARE
Last Line: IN THE EAGLE'S GRIP.
Subject(s): EGGPLANT;
Fine to taste they are,
Smoothly globular,
Fed by the sweet brook
In their shady nook.

Fronds at top and toe
Clutch them round, as though
They are hearts of sheep
In the eagle's grip.
