Cloves to wear

Nichola Savitri de Senneville

Cloves to wear ?
Cinnamon to bear?
Nutmeg to not see red, yes!

A hint of mint really makes me think
That...
Thyme for the rhyme is what I lack not
And...
 Don't brief the bayleaf for he's in the Nile

Come in Cumin no need to knock on the door you are welcome
But...
  Why am I always In need of Aniseed? Because...
 Pepper plans proceed powerfully  
While...
Fennels feelings frolic frantically in the fragrance far from formalities
And...
Sesame has sex with Sensemelia
But...
Chill! Paprika prepare for amalgamation
Because...
Ginger gets gorgeous  
While...
Peppermint pampers people's palates
So...
