Only One Hors d’oeuvres Needed

Please enjoy this poem written by Aaron Poe, a Student at Lee College Horticulture, one of our AAS Display Gardens.   

Make plenty of this fabulous snack,

As guests will crave more and circle back.

On a slice of lightly toasted sourdough,

With these delicious toppings you’ll steal the show.

Drizzling olive oil is the first step,

Adding grilled Icicle will add some pep.

Diced Purple Zebra will add a nice touch,

Steamed Sweet Jade strips next, not much.

Include some Wildcat if you enjoy some heat,

Sprinkle chopped Dark Opal for a flavor that can’t be beat.

Including cubes of Century Star will change the game,

Now enjoy the satisfaction of everyone cheering your name.
