Vegemite

Some people love me,
And some people don't.
Some people will gobble me up
On their piece of whole grain toast.

My silky, brown paste spreads with ease,
From a cracker to bread to a whole lot of cheese.
I'll silently spread wherever you like,
As long as I'm not with my cousin Promite.

I'm standing here proud,
On the supermarket shelf
I'm proud to be me
The famous Vegemite, itself!
