Parsley...

... is gharsley.

Ogden Nash Further Reflection on Parsley

The parsnip, children, I repeat,
Is simply an anaemic beet.
Some people call the parsnip edible;
Myself, I find this claim incredible.

Ogden Nash The Parsnip


Celery, raw,
Develops the jaw.
But celery, stewed,
Is more quietly chewed.

I grow lovage. It is an easy alternative perennial.
