My Partner doesn’t like mushrooms <br />I really don’t see why not <br />Sizzling next to a steak <br />Or in a soup <br />Laced with cream and thyme and wild bergamot <br />I don’t see what puts him off <br /> <br />Perhaps I should take him <br />To the bottom of the garden <br />On a warm midsummer night <br />Where the enchanted fairy folk <br />Will dance around them <br />Bathed in magic moonlight <br /> <br />Or I could take his hand <br />And we’ll jump through a big green pipe <br />To a land far out of reach <br />Straight to the Mushroom Kingdom <br />Where he’ll be greeted <br />By a plumber, a dragon <br />And a princess called Peach <br /> <br />Or maybe a trip to Wonderland <br />Will help me change his mind <br />Through a great hole we’ll fall <br />And chase a rabbit that’s late <br />Just to find out his fate <br />Where the mushrooms will make us grow tall <br />Or small <br /> <br />But for now he don’t like mushrooms <br />Maybe I shouldn’t tempt fate <br />But one day I’ll be cruel <br />Or maybe a fool <br />And sneak one onto his plate<br /><br />Maurice Rowlands<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-partner-doesn-t-like-mushrooms/
