Food for Thought?

A short poem about an unusual word I like.

I would like to introduce you to a word,
It’s quite likely you have never heard.
You’ll know many words, silly and sensible,
But how about the word comestible?

It is sometimes an adjective, other times a noun
But it is hardly a word of great renown.
As an adjective it describes something edible
But as a noun, it is something that is eatable.

As a small child it fooled my teacher,
Ha ha I thought, that’ll teach her
When my creative story she had heard
And said “comestible, that is not a word!”

So if you are ever deserted by your muse,
In search of a delicious culinary word to use,
Why not try comestible if you’re in the mood
For tasty, nourishing, yummy food.
