“An Ode to Vegemite”
“What greater pleasure can there be
Than a piece of toast adorned with thee
The sultry lust, the first bite
Enter me now, my Vegemite
Yeast extract is your main allure
Any ills your taste shall cure
Invented in 1922 by Cyril P. Callister
A treasured representation of Australian culture
Maybe add some butter, mate
Or some margarine, don’t hate
Position between two pieces of bread for a sandwich
Australia is better than New Zealand, bitch”
Matthew Dellavedova set down his pen and looked happily upon his completed work. His stomach rumbled. Smiling, he walked over to his fridge and opened it. Inside was nothing but jars upon jars of Vegemite. Dozens, if not hundreds of them, waiting patiently to be enjoyed. And enjoy them he would.
