A ramp is a wild cousin of a leek.
Similar but more pungent is its reek.
On Pocahontas hillsides is where they are.
Its festivals are on the calendar
In the coming weeks.
Can you eat a lot of ramps?
Do they have your approval stamp?
If you had sufficient appetite
And planned to sleep alone that night,
Might you be the ramp-eating champ?
