Just had a little garlic paste

Just enough to satisfy taste

Just a thin layer on a muffin

Now, taste lingers - a tough 'un



How does one get rid of that taste?

Or will it stay now till another day?

Am I stuck with it until slept out ...?

Or is there a way to dismiss this bout?



Loving the zingy taste of garlic bread

But this was too much - over my head

Now I'm inundated with the tartness ...

Quite drowning in my own smartness!!!
