Waka Flaka Fava
Bean!
Can you
do me a fava?
Tell me,
what is a fava bean?
Fava
beans are two faced fiends!
For some
humans, it can help.
But for
others…WELP! DEATH!
Favism,
a fatal disease.
Those
who have it die with ease.
Fava
beans can be so mean.
If you
live where they cultivate
You’re
sure to feel their hate.
You’d
think from spending so much time with them
They’d
be your friend.
But nay!
They like to slay
Those
who spend time with them all day.
Fava beans
aren’t the only ones who want to kill
Like
Hannibal, who likes his fill.
Because
they face fava beans pain
People
are resistant to malaria’s reign.
Malarial
parasites want to pillage your red blood cells
But G6PD
gives them hell!
Evolution
doesn’t fava traits
So be
careful if you put them on your plates.
Because
you might find out that nature
Is one
of your biggest haters.
Because
of all this strife
There is
advancing of human life.
I am so sorry...
Perhaps you will see this post, perhaps not. I googled, I haggled, I gaggled, and even giggled, but fava bean poetry is in short supply. Yours, by default, is the best I have read. Perhaps I will try to best you. Not by highlighting their propensity to kill their creators, but to survive, naked, where their Gods not tread - the frigid depths of the darkest cold.
