I need to make dinner a treat
And serve something different to eat
But I need not worry
To the Net I will hurry
There's a web release that's hard to beat.

It says flowers are so nutritious.
Add petals to make meals delicious.
Gives lots of advice
On making meals nice
And the dishes are not too ambitious.

So when next I'm starting to forage
I'll try marigolds, roses or borage.
To enhance my provender
I'll use nasturtiums, lavender
And maybe a small dose of courage.

When it's time for the next Mother's Day
I won't buy a bouquet or nosegay
I'll take the assurance
Of writer Sue Lawrence
Don't buy flowers; eat them today!.

Shameless self-promotion
