The Russians love their Ivan Chai
Rose bay willow leaves
This plant grows almost everywhere
And actually achieves
Much regenerating the earth
And giving back
A lot of real protection
We all are under
dear attack
Glyphosate a herbicide
Over used these days
It came out of the Devils arse
And I can never praise
anyone from using it
Or selling it for they
Support Monsanto/Bayer
All along the way
From April onwards the lower stems
Will make a nutritious meal
Fried in oil like asparagus
It’s truly is for real
The leaves make tea or added to salad
The flowers to jellies drinks and conserves
A tea that truly rejuvenates
And is so good for our nerves
a,on the way
