"Ode to Woad on Dusty Road!" (Entry 439)

O, ode to woad on dusty road. 
Isatis tinctoria, I used to adore ya. 
Cabbage extracted, then powdered. Pathetic!
No more seeded, superseded by synthetic.
You flowering plant from family Brassicaceae.  
Yellow fellow, you made me blue. Alas, I dye!

I entered the 'Vogon Poetry' competition set by http://www.hitchhikerslive.com/ alas I didn't win! Seeing as it was a competition for the worst poetry, I don't know whether not winning was a good thing or not! :-) I hope you like it anyway
