WARM WINTER CHILLI

by John Yeo

 When a January day dawns with a cold chilly morning

There’s a spicy way to set your taste buds on fire

With fiery, warm winter chilli, it’s magic performing.

~

Taste is a sense of highly sensitive savouring

The sharp flavour and warmth with that chilli desire

When a January day dawns with a cold chilly morning.

~

A passion for food is exploration, taste discerning
The taste buds reflect a different sensation supplier

With fiery, warm winter chilli, it’s magic performing.

~

The heat spreads rapidly as the chilli starts burning

Providing more heat than you can possibly require

When a January day dawns with a cold chilly morning.

~

 Beware, the warm winter chilli can be habit forming

An antidote to the freeze with a heat magnifier

With fiery, warm winter chilli, it’s magic performing.

~

The antidote to bland cold taste buds is reforming,

Encouraging the body thermostat higher and higher 

With fiery, warm winter chilli, it’s magic performing.

When a January day dawns with a cold chilly morning.

Warm and chilli are a contradiction in terms.

Heat is generated by the introducing warmth
