You little Gem

You little Gem

A Poem by John Preston

           Her name is Charlotte

Firm, full of flavour
Best, they say steam
or upon the boil

This little wench
from Suffolk

They say she’s full

of natural source

Vitamin C
Helps the bones, blood vessels,

 teeth, skin and gums work properly too
Body will absorb the iron

Much wanted 
Potassium
Contributes to the maintenance
of normal blood pressure

Fibre
A relief of needs each day 
Natural source of roughage
well balanced diet

They even say, she’s
from a rich fertile plain
I’m sorry you little Gem
one’s going in the pot

Firm and tasty
So in the bin my pills do go for
High blood pressure
High Cholesterol
Fat reduction
Even the water works

Oh!

You little Gem
