Ode to the Kimchi

Don't spice up our food, they say;
what kind of people eat the cabbage 
looks like that? says a girl, wincing. 
But many Americans and others 
                                  love kimchi.
don't eat, if you don't like it;
no one force you to eat it.

With garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper
in it, kimchi is antioxidant.
If you don't like spicy red kimchi, 
then you have a choice--white kimchi.
yes, white kimchi. even kimchi has 
red and white. To make white kimchi,

use green pepper and pear for you and me.
