If Marmite be the Food of Love - Yeuch!
Give me friendship, give me love
And we'll be like hand and glove;
All is made in heaven above,
- But MARMITE sandwiches.
Give me honour all your life
And I'll make you my dear wife;
Give me butter on my knife,
- But no MARMITE sandwiches.
Give me tender loving care
And my life with you I'll share;
Give me reasonable fare,
- But no MARMITE sandwiches.
Keep your cool when I get hot
And though it may not be a lot,
Give me everything you've got;
- But no MARMITE sandwiches.
Buy the clothes you like to wear
Keep the highlights in your hair;
But never give me, if you dare,
- MARMITE sandwiches.
Give me breakfast, give me lunch
And I'll call you "Honeybunch".
Feed me; anything I'll munch,
- But MARMITE sandwiches.
Give me dinner, give me tea
And I'll sit you on my knee;
Only listen to my plea,
- No MARMITE sandwiches.
And, when you and I get old
And begin to feel the cold;
Just keep doing what you're told
- NO MARMITE SANDWICHES!!
Postscript:- Ophir sent a copy of this to Unilever Bestfoods UK (Marmite Marketing) last year and received a letter of recognition, saying that they had passed it to their publicity department. The subsequent TV advertisement used the idea, sustaining the love/hate theme.
