Good heavens! you’ll cry – its just a sauce, made from
Roasting juices of the meat cooking in the oven –
Actually, they cheer in unison – its much more than that
Vegetable water and various seasonings are mixed in too –
You might even get a flavour of the drink you’re having with your dinner

Carrying on like they were in nirvana
Alert – the bouncers on the door
Rowdy – you’d call their behaviour – as they left the
On-licence publican’s for a place a little bit incognito
Under each of the revellers arms
Something rich, and red and alcoholic to go with their meal
Expect some fun and games at the Bring your own bistro

Everyone our way knows it as an aubergine
grilled and served up with
grated cheese and tomato
purple tinge to its black skin – never known once grilled
leaping to life in any greek dish
and lipsmackingly wonderful on a summers day
note though – best served with oil and herbs
tastes wonderful with a drop of house red

Maybe its
Autumn, that reminds me of you most.
Rich red colour spread through warm tones
of spice mulled wine
or perhaps its the berries and spices
noted as ingredients, used to produce the brew

A signal to all in the garden – Spring is a go.
formed from the primaries of blue skies and yellow sun
you’re what give the leaves and grass a colour
grazing cows and flocking birds
cheer the sight of your appearance
as flowers use your colour as canvas
and as people picnic on the public lawn
frogs and toads from ponds are born
hopping happy on lily pads
Precious stones shine your shade
and so do wines that make the grade
bottles show your wonderous class – in glass
artists capture your shades – dark and light
creating scenes of landscapes bright
canvasses everywhere have seen – your colour – green
