I almost didn’t find you and then you came
With just days to go
You arrived just in time
Now I won’t have to replace you
With watermelon rind
All the way from Belgium! Not local, you are
I couldn’t even find you, not even by car
But I could have grown you right here
California climate is prime
If I were a gardener, retired
or not working full time
I called all the stores,
and begged at least one complete stranger
I gave up all hope, put the recipe in the hanger
Then Rigel said, to Berkeley Bowl you must Go!
Salsify Galore
But sorry, the traffic will blow.
And now that I have you
I hope the recipe turns out
They also call you oyster plant
I hope you don't taste like old trout
