Hear ye, hear ye what I'm about <br />to tell you about Sauerkraut. <br />The latest study has revealed <br />that Cabbage grown out in the field <br />is later, through long fermentation <br />turned into what the German nation <br />has long considered its proud flag. <br /> <br />Lest you all think that I would brag <br />it's this fine Kraut that keeps your breasts <br />in splendid shape, like honoured guests. <br />Malignancies that venture in <br />are turned away with a sly grin, <br />the juices of that special stuff <br />can stand their ground and huff and puff. <br /> <br />They do protect your DNA <br />and chase the cancer cells away. <br />Though epidemiology <br />is what's observed, what people see <br />it's not firm proof as black and white <br />but chances are they might be right. <br /> <br />Though I myself have not been blessed <br />with lovely nipples or a breast <br />I eat my Kraut two days a week <br />and add a stalk of pungent leek <br />some seeds of caraway on top <br />then go and tend my cabbage crop. <br /> <br />As God had mentioned years ago <br />an illness can be such a blow <br />but if you listen, he will teach <br />about the remedy for each. <br />No plant is growing for no reason <br />that's why we have a growing season, <br />eat foods that stop you getting ill <br />and do not trust the doctor's pill <br />make Sauerkraut one of your staples, <br />they even eat the stuff in Naples. <br /> <br />This poem is dedicated to Sherrie, <br />whose corpus callosum is well- <br />functioning in both directions.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sauerkraut-study/
