thou giant thistle
producer of succulent buds
Thy thorns make thee
the perfect missile. But
oh! What a waste...
that would be...
of such a tasty savory.

Fresh or pickled...raw or cooked? Yum...
Oh, I do adore a pizza...mmm
I'm partial to sauteed garlic and crimini over homemade pesto sauce on a very thin crust
layered with Mozzarella, red onion rings and capers...Heavenly Ely
