National Garlic Day 19.4.18

Today is National Garlic day

Who knew that even exists?

But now that we know, let’s say a few words

For the herb we cannot resist. 



It comes from the genus onion,

Allium it’s proper name. 

Whether it's raw or cooked, bulb or cloves,

The flavour tastes the same. 



For garlic is a Super-herb

With powers beyond it’s size

From healing to aphrodisiac,

And warding off vampires. 



Where would we be without its taste 

In pastas, on garlic bread?

The only downside seems to be

You’re left with smelly breath!
