My Roots Poem by Ima Ryma
My Roots
Glycyrrhiza glabra does be
My fancy scientific name.
In British, liquorice is me,
In U.S., licorice the same.
Flowering perennial bean
Plant, I am best known for my root
From which humans have ways to glean
Good taste and smell in use pursuit
As a sweetener in candy
And a tobacco flavoring.
Some even sip me in brandy.
A lot of pleasure I do bring.
Sadly, some cases diagnose
Humans on me can overdose.
