The Secret Recipe" by Andy Roth
What could it be? What could it be
that’s in this secret recipe?
Do I detect an orange slice,
cured with just a bit of spice?
And I think I can taste a hint
of mulberries and leaves of mint.
Or maybe something really weird,
Like dragon scales and billy goat beard
chilled in a wild winter breeze
and churned in waves from distant seas.
I cannot tell. I cannot tell.
Another taste might ring a bell.
Perchance it’s name I could surmise.
Tomato Tumbleweed Surprise?
