Kohlrabi lyrics

So maligned, so unknown

Quite remarkable and alien

Unlike so many it stands o'er

Its roots strong and erecting

A bulb sweet and white within

Efficient, edible cooked or not

Its greens a boone as well

And lasts winter's mild span

A provider in the lean times

When the earth sleeps long

And her abundance rests still

A humble bounty to survive

When verdant patches lie below

The stinging cold just above

Frigid fingers find fare

Staying off famine's grip
