Moringa experience

Chopped down the scraggly Moringa to waist tall
Its further growth of juicy leaves kept me enthralled
Vision of good health…free from allergies, edema, stomach disorder
Provides vitamins A, C & E, calcium potassium, protein…all in good order

Set me off to eat the leaves
That should not be a peeve

First 7 days ate the leaves in soup and instant noodle
Throughout the ordeal my mind was in a fuddle
Viewed to see pink face and flat stomach
No sign of any meant 7 days were not enough

Drastic action was now required
Chewed the leaves like a cow got my mind wired
Kinder to my jaw
Blend the leaves should not be a flaw

One basin of leaves and one cup of brine
Resulted in one glass of greenish wine

First gulp got my face grimaced
Second gulp got my throat stricken
Third gulp got me flying
To vomit I was dying

The smell and flavor lasted
Throughout my body from head to toe blasted
Of cut grass tinged with bitterness
That’s why a cow shudders…not due to indifference!

Lesson taught
Moringa leaves I give naught
