It's been awhile since my last installment.

L is for Licorice,

intense, sweet treat.

The root is often harvested.

The rest we must not eat.

M is for Moth Bean,

on a plant twelve inches high.

Each bean is like a grain of rice,

eat fresh or lightly fry.

N is for Navy,

a bean that is well-known.

Sailors often ate these, when

fresh food couldn’t be grown.
