I'm Proud Spinach

I'm Proud Spinach

A Poem by Shalini Dinesh







               

Spinach ('',)



Hello I’m spinach greenly green,

With nutrients, minerals and oxidants,

Lot more of goodness is what I mean,

So thin, slender and smooth leaf,

Containing so much of goodness,

For all other greenies I’m the chief.

 

I hold loads and loads of vitamin A,

Will take care of your precious eyes

All through the years is what I say,

Will help your bones and to coagulate,

For I’ve got the rare one Vitamin K.

Add me to your everyday food in plate.

 

Fiber content, is also provided by me

Preventing various digestive problems,

Eat me often, and the benefits you’ll see,

I also have phytonutrients within me,

To reduce adverse cell division of cancer,

Munch me; healthy and fit you shall be.

 

For I’m spinach greenly green,

With nutrients, minerals and oxidants,

Lot more of goodness is what I mean,

So thin, slender and smooth leaf,

Containing so much of goodness,

For all other greenies I’m the chief.

Smiling and enjoying every bite! I do love to grow fresh in the garden, and you've let us know just why it's wondrous... Did watch Popeye when young and didn't really like it then... mum did it with vinegar poured all over.. lol.. Thanks for sharing all the goodness!
