they appear to have magical properties

giaconda women cook them in 19 different ways
inspiring their men to compose purple songs about
aubergine cuisine
no one subscribes to the anecdote
a pleasure shared is a pleasure doubled
no going halves in the egg plant game
just haves and have nots
sharing and caring a fantasy concept in song lyrics
This is wonderful, the glorious eggplant! Which definitely has magical properties. Definitely not raw with mayonnaise, though.
ReplyDeleteI never heard an eggplant song before, let alone 19 or this Michael Franks song. Thanks for all of it.
I enjoyed this poem. You included some clever lines!
ReplyDelete"...a pleasure shared is a pleasure doubled..." wise words
