"Ode to Vegemite: An Exaltation of an Earthly Delight" p. 3/3


Oh spread of spreads, on toast arrayed, with butter under cloak,🔊

Each morsel of thee I consume, my taste buds to evoke.🔊

Should I ascend to Elysium, my soul forever roam,🔊

I'd plead for Vegemite’s delight, 'bove in my celestial home.🔊


So mortals, hoist your spoons aloft, and gods, look kindly down,🔊

On this transcendent, savory fare, that doth your heirlooms crown.🔊

For Vegemite belongs not to the realm where men do bide,🔊

But 'pon Olympus' banquet hall, right by ambrosia's side.🔊
