Vegemite Tip Poem by Douglas Scotney
Vegemite Tip
On your Corn Thin
smear the Vegemite first,
then smear the 'butter'.
'Smear, ' I said,
preferring 'smear' to 'spread'.
It's from the German 'schmer'
meaning 'grease'.
English changed the 'sch' to 's'.
It did the same to 'Schmacke'.
Smack: a fishing vessel
with a well in which,
if fish
cannot exactly thrive,
they can at least be kept alive.

The best great tip for our famous Vegemite is it is full of vitamins and famous with avocado and also cheese. I couldn’t live without it! Thank you
