N.B. "If there's ever been a neglected subject in poetry, it's vinegar!" - Norman Clegg, Last of the Summer Wine.

Bitter Enhancer
Vinegar
This powerful additive,
Either corrupter or improver of flavour.
Taken or left via choice's luxury.
A perfect partner to fish and chips.
Virtually incompatible with other grub,
Yet best suited to join fried vertebrates and spuds
This infector of the breath.
Bitter sweet taste for the tongue,
Leaving a powerful legacy behind.
Downing a whole bottle is overkill.
Small baptising sprinkles is underkill.
That's the way it should be handled.
Vinegar.

P.S. I HAD contacted Matt Schofield and Nugene records - SEVERAL TIMES!!! - to see if it was okay to use this song for this project, and they never replied. NO INFRINGEMENT IS INTENDED. PURELY FOR FUN.
