Lentils
lentils

O, Opulent Beluga lentils, decadent, restless lentils,
More delectable than caviar: caviar of soup pots,
Rainy day, textured, queen’s-dish soup, precious
As dimes found on a gummed-up sidewalk, more
Lucky than pennies, more sought-for than diamonds,
Appreciated most by admirers from afar;
 
Synonyms to which are words like: Romanesque,
Peachy, miraculous, vivified, and peak,
Perfect in construction, superior and sleek.
