Very good.
I love the rhymes, especially sauerkraut...
All good winter vegetables, too.

Thank you. 
I was brought up on cabbages and fish (I grew up at the North Sea, near Dithmarsia, allegedly the largest cabbage producing area in Europe.

Naww, I'll maybe get an honorary mention. 
I'm impressed with the poems all of you have submitted.
Yours sounds very painful.

There's an old verse we used to write as schoolgirls in each others' autograph books:
"My love is like a cabbage, a cabbage cut in two. The leaves I give to others, the heart I give to you"

Oh, I just found this link:

Seems it remains Dithmarschen in English and isn't changed to Dithmarsia. I never expected that.

Well, you know what they say - "Love is like a paving slab to the mouth. Frequently painful and usually unnecessary."

Life is frequently like a cucumber, but I do prefer the red cabbage, which is healthy and very German.

I love this. 
I reckon sprouts are under-rated. They're especially nice chopped and stir fried with soy sauce.
