Scarborough Fair
traditional folk song lyrics Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. Remember me to one who lives there. She once was a true love of mine. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt, (a hill in the deep forest green) Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme; (tracing of sparrow on snow-crested [...]

Parsley
Petroselinum Crispum lyrics Archemorus, This Greek was no geek, Spilling his blood, For our food. Keep the forerunner of death… Distant, While you freshen your breath, In an instant. Put flatulence out of existence! Good for your digestive system, And, it’ll clear your skin, Calm your nerves and help emotion, With lots of vitamin A [...]

Sage
Salvia Officinalis lyrics Salvia Officinalis (Sage) I engaged a sage, Asking the savant, If I could be Her servant? I needed official advice, On Salvia Officinalis: “What is this… Some sort-a spice?” She told me to draw near, And, hold these thoughts dear: “Ancients from the earliest age, Knew the power of sage, Prompting the [...]

Thyme
Thymus Vulgaris lyrics Isis, In time of crisis, Have pity, Bless me with Tai-iti. Find out how invigorating, Less they use it for embalming, Have you ever tried, Thyme dried? Increases the intensity, Up to a factor of three. Use as an antiseptic, To help protect, Or, for goodness sake, Treat your headache, Is your [...]

Basil
Ocimum Basilicum lyrics As long as there’s been damsels in distress, Basil’s powers have been put to the test, Should I share a sprig with you, You’ll fall in love… there’s nothing you can do, And, would you believe, That you’ll never leave? Ahhh… sweet, sweet basil, It’s hard to get my fill, Ahhh… sweet, [...]

Methyl
lyrics Methyl, You’re so special, You’re so cool, You make me hot, So, why not, Quit being a fool, And, get a re-fill, Of methyl… I think I will!

Peppermint
Mentha Piperita lyrics I thought I had a hint, About mint, But, I didn’t. What do I know? Turns out Pluto, Had a falling out, Over the nymph, Minthe, Once found out about… Pluto’s wife, Persephone, Couldn’t leave it alone, On the world’s stage, She flew into rage, Turning Minthe, Underneath, A lowly plant, To [...]

Moist Spot
lyrics Why not, Find a moist spot? Especially in the winter, When you try to keep hot, Because turning up the heat, Does defeat, Humidity… For humanity, Needs water in the air, To remain fair. We will fall ill, If our skin goes dry, How about an eye, Or, nostril? Why not seek a moist [...]
