In the Groove, and Totally HOT!

From Hairy to Smooth

I’m in with the Groove,

Truly, I’m Hot

Tho’ some like me not.

They think that I’m square

When really I’m round

From black to white

I will pound

a punch of flavour

in many a dish,

I’m good with eggs, cheese, meat

soup, salad, fish.

Pound me back

when I’ve gone to seed,

Call me Mustard,

don’t call me weed,

As I can be useful

and good for you,

Grind me into flour,

add me to stew.

I’m fast growing,

all over the land

in almost every Province,

ditch, field, culvert,
wasteland.

I’ve many relations

some you might know quite well,

Cabbage, Radish, Turnip;

Rutubaga, and Kale…

There’s another I’ll mention

tho’ it might make you pout...
