How do I love thee? Let me count the ways…

I love thee through the depth my gasps ignite

extolling pow’rful pungency each flight.

For your Simple Being, and appealing taste

I love thee past Common Sense and Anchovy Paste!

You quench my quiet crave for a heady bite;

I love thee Ideally, and am not contrite.

I love thy crunch, and fragrant purple haze;

I love thee with ev’ry stench-ed breath I make.

With my Belief, and my Fervent Craze,

I love thy wild, unruly rooting ache.

Without restraint, I love thy impudence

Thus yearn to feature you in ev’ry dish I make;

And vow to fore’er rise in your Defense.
