Cassava latkes

Wrapped in lace

Set out for an occasion

Festive holidays

Sprinkled with green

Festooned with cream

Spinning and twirling

A starch lover’s dream

Fragrant applesauce bubbles on the stove

Cinnamon and cardamom and essence of clove

Apple and cassava, nature’s baklava,

United through the tempering of coconut and guava

Just kidding, no guava, just needed a rhyme

Hard to rhyme cassava with anything sublime

Anyway please enjoy this delectable treat

And give potatoes a break, they were tired on their feet

Try cassava for a change, and I think that if you do

You will very likely become a cassava convert true.

(NB Is this a poem? I dunno. I’d like to replace it with a story but I couldn’t come up with anything that didn’t seem derivative/appropriative, so if anyone would like to submit a story for consideration please do so. If it’s better than this poem (hey low-hanging fruit), I will publish it here with credits/attribution/links etc.!)
