Brown, glistening, viscous and spreadable
Pretty much looks like literal shit
Dispersed sporadically over cold, burnt toast
The perfect combination of fats and carbs
Makes for a surprisingly bitter sensation
A taste just as salty as my attitude
Delivers stained teeth almost instantly
Ensures the breath smells mitey bad
Embarrassment puts a rose in every cheek
Attempted diversification of cooking potential
Vegemite lamb roasts aren’t fooling anyone
B vitamins do nothing for immunity
Yet still marketed as a health staple
For some reason, an Australian cultural icon
Made from beer manufacturing waste
Briefly pinched by the Americans (typical!)
Poorly imitated by the British overlords
The traditionalists wouldn’t have it any other way.
We acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which Woroni, Woroni Radio and Woroni TV are created, edited, published, printed and distributed. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. We acknowledge that the name Woroni was taken from the Wadi Wadi Nation without permission, and we are striving to do better for future reconciliation.
