Truffle Hunting<br />
The truffle's an elusive chap,<br />
he doesn't have a sti pe or cap!<br />
He doesn't have a gill or pore,<br />
or veil or ring or volva or.. .<br />
skeletal trama, what a miser!<br />
Yet still he makes good mycorrhiza!<br />
And if you open him then ee-bah<br />
gum! He's got a 1 ovely gleba!<br />
With every tree he will not grow,<br />
when Autumn comes, no flashy show.<br />
A modest fungus, that's for sure,<br />
all curled up in the forest floor.<br />
4 we1 1 -trained dog or truffle pig<br />
(they say) will scent him out and dig<br />
him up, though with his habits mild<br />
I s till prefer the truffle child!<br />
Black, white, or brown our truffles be,<br />
too small and soily for your tea.<br />
So gastronomes must go abroad,<br />
to eat the truffle perigord.<br />
But to the beech woods take your rake<br />
and clear the leaves and start to<br />
scrape:<br />
they're fun to fine in their own way,<br />
so come on, join our next foray!<br />
