An Ode To Vegemite
 
An Ode To Vegemite

Oh, Vegemite, you mighty rendition
Of health, prosperity and ambition
Why have they banned you from Aussies ex-pat,
Who swear not to succumb to American fat?
The spread so malicious
It’s taste, unwashed dishes;
Yet loved by so many
It’s truly uncanny..
Vegemite, folate-filled food for the masses
Instantly stirs up gastronomical gasses.
It twists and winds down the esophageal tube
Of King, Queen and peasant and lowliest rube.
Vegemite built up a nation of criminals
With the taste of a night pot or even a urinal.
So what more can we say to our friends from the South
Be careful of what Kraft puts into your mouth!

Well, I might have done given a bit of time, but after my initial
iconoclastic reaction, I realised that Vegemite is a US company & US
brand after all, so it's only the standard, sad case of the US shooting
its own best interests in the foot, hardly worth even a raised eyebrow.


Despairingly yours,

Don't despair dear Tadpole.

Look at it as the US simply reciprocating, not to be confused with
vacillating.

Vegemite is to Australians as guns are to Americans.

We can't take our guns to your country.

You can't take that viscuous laxative here.

With that arrangement how can anyone be shot in the foot?



Ahem. At the risk of repeating myself, Kraft Foods & Vegemite brand are
entirely US-owned. Is denying a multitude of Australian expatriates in the
US their daily vitamin B & folate fix worth the loss of sales revenue?
Anyway, re the US guns; on my last recent run through Woomera, there were
American guns everywhere!


Obviously you have given much thought to good old crafty American
politiking. The ban is an obvious ploy to create jobs in America. Vast
factories will be set up to supply the phenomenal demand for vegemite here
in the US. Fortunately gun owners subdued the run on grocery stores for
stockpilers of the yeasty smear. For now American vegemite producers will
have to get by on huge subsidies to make up for the loss in income. It's an
election year.

Yesterday - French cheese, today -vegemite, tomorrow -The World!


Presumably the original purchase of Kraft was in the mistaken belief
that it harboured a Weapon of Mouth Destruction.


I take it no American gun has shot you in the foot since you ran through
Woomera.



No. The guns were fixed to the wings of stationary aircraft and
couldn't be depressed in time. I, on the other hand, am easily depressed.
