Amidst the summer's blaze, a celebration calls, Fourth of July, a symphony of freedom that enthralls. And as we gather, our palates to delight, Let's honor the seasons, eating what is right.

In nature's bounty, a harmony we find, Embracing the freshness, the flavors intertwined. Kohlrabi, a jewel, with its verdant grace, A love affair with nature's elegant embrace.

Oh, kohlrabi, crisp and evergreen, A patriotic delight, a veggie supreme. Its vibrant hues, like fireworks in the sky, Ignite our taste buds, as flavors multiply.

In the summer's heat, as barbecues ignite, Grilled kohlrabi takes center stage, a true delight. Seasoned with spices, a sizzle on the grill, Its tender flesh invites, a taste that gives a thrill.

Or perhaps, in salads, it shines so bright, A star among greens, bringing pure delight. Crunchy and refreshing, a burst of summer's cheer, A side dish that's cherished, with each passing year.

As we celebrate freedom, with joy and cheer, Let's savor the bounties, with each passing year. Eating seasonally, a pledge we make anew, Nourishing our bodies, in harmony with what is true.

So raise your forks high, on this festive day, To the flavors of kohlrabi, in a patriotic array. With gratitude and joy, let's embrace this fusion, Of seasonal eating, and love for this vegetable infusion.

As fireworks light up the sky, colors bursting bright, Let our taste buds dance, in culinary delight. For in the union of seasons and kohlrabi's grace, We celebrate abundance, with every bite we embrace.
