Food Fight
The boy said do you want a pizza me
to the boy who had stolen his piece of pie
pretty soon some bananas got bruised
as they flew and dropped from the cafeteria sky,
Lettuce and tomatos were being tossed
as all the students fought like oil and vinegar
a flying onion made someone cry
while a tossed celery stalked another,
Carrot top caught lemons and gave them all a squirt
trying to make lemonade out of lemons
the girl next to him went totally berserk
when the juice dribbled down her face to her skirt,
Slim Jim and Tim worked like two peas in a pod
throwing carrot sticks at students as if they were lightening rods
"orange you glad were friends" they said to each another
while some students in front of them ran and took cover,
The blue haired cafeteria lady's hair was now a shade of green
thanks to the unbiased landing of some pistachio ice cream
thinking to herself there must be better ways to make some dough
but before I quit I'm letting loose some over ripe tomatoes!
Meanwhile a student took a bunch of pictures of them all going bananas...
to this day is food for thought in a courtroom food drama.
