Ginger musings

I add fresh ginger to my daily breakfast shake

It adds a sweet spicy peppery flavor

It has amazing anti inflammatory properties

Near the top of my superfood list

Ginger cookies go so well with a cup of hot tea

Take a sip of tea then bite the cookie

Put a hot tea ginger zinger into your taste buds

Be a real devil and dunk that cookie in your tea

Malt whisky is my favorite tipple

Always neat with no ice

Ginger chocolate tastes truly amazing

Interspersed between sips of single malt

When I was young everybody around me drank alcohol

But I was never allowed even a taste

They gave me ginger beer to drink

I thought I was so cool drinking beer

Until I discovered it was just a soft drink

I once knew a girl called Ginger

She was beautiful with long flowing red hair

I remember so well our one and only kiss 

Disappointingly she did not taste like ginger
