Chorus Rosemary, Keep those evil spirits away, Oh, Rosemary, Please keep those spirits at bay. The “Dew Of 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! Methyl cinnamate, Tastes great, Gives my mouth a thrill, Eating basil. Methyl sulfonyl methane, Is critical to remain, Without enough sulfur, I’ll surely suffer. Methyl salicylate, [...]

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 [...]

Phytochemicals
lyrics Plant yourself down, And, take a look around, Can you see, How you relate, To the things before me, And, on your plate? This is a rant… About phyto, Which means — plant, So, quick, Pronto, Let’s go, So, that I can fix, What ails, And, slow the nails, From my coffin, Improving my [...]
Garlic, Chives And Scallions
Allium Sphaerocephalon, Tuberosum & Fistulosum lyrics Geeze! The Chinese, Have been eating these, Prior to 3,000 B.C., That’s way before me. Organosulfur, Will you go so far, As to protect me, How soon, Can I be immune? Instantly? I confess, I’m not that Herculean, I surrender, Can you render, The carcinogen, Harmless? What about that [...]

Carotenoids
lyrics I try not to avoid, Carotenoid, Oh, Mary, Mary, Quite the contrary, How does my garden, Grow? By trying to know, What beta carotene, Does mean, To my well-being. Not equal, To vitamin, Nor phytochemical, But, then again… Just as critical. I’m in the dark, Can you help me see, You give my eyes [...]

Blooming Idiot
lyrics I just found out, I’m breeding animals, It took me about… All my life. But, before I grab the butcher’s knife, I’d better figure, The particulars, Because… Though it’s been said, I’m a vegetable, I’m really a meat head, And, now the buzz – I’m a blooming idiot. Yup, that’s it, I forgot to [...]
