NOT SO HOT
(By
WHIM-WHAM
(More than 600 acres of culinary mustard will be grown as an investigation project in 1942-43, most of it in Canterbury. The results of the investigation may initiate a new primary initem in Christchurch paper.) MUST admit that I am not Addicted to the Mustard Pot Or to its Contents, moist or dry: I really cannot tell you why, Unless that once, when very Fouts I spread some freely on my Tongue And tried that torrid Taste too soon, Immoderately, with a Spoon. DO not like the Stuff, and so I do not think I'd like to grow / The Mustard that I cannot eat To flavour other People’s Meat. A world completely Mustardless Would cause me not the least DistressThe World we live in, certainly, Is more than hot enough for mel eae te more (however great the Charms Of culinary Mustard Farms) A Grain or two of Mustard Seed Supplies no basic Human Need. A thankless Task with ego J Toil To wrest from a reluctant Soi No better Gift for Man’s Estate Than yellow Smears upon his Plate! _-- -_---
