Yesterday a large mushroom
Appeared on their chair
It looked all forlorn
Just sitting there.
It was delivered by their neighbour,
A funghi to know.
He knows the difference between toadstools
And other things that grow.
It’s many a year since
These presents first appeared
They were younger then
Alarmed and somewhat feared!
They knew he picked them for his wife
A pretty lady with much class,
He fried them up with bacon
To give to his bonny lass.
So they watched and waited
And kept the mushrooms for a day.
Then peeped over the fence
To make sure the folks were OK.
They must have had their mushrooms
At breakfast, they knew.
And they still appeared cheerful
As good neighbours do.
So with their worries over
They felt it was fine
To fry them with garlic,
Olive oil and red wine.
This season has been plentiful
With mushrooms by the score
One mushroom in particular
Was bigger than their door
So it is with many thanks
They say ‘Please bring them when you can’
Now their caring, generous neighbour
Is known as ‘The Mushroom Man’
