A Battle Rages

A battle rages
between beans and broccoli.
Sadly, no winner
emerges from this dark fog.
Perhaps I will blame the dog.

I reckon a large part of this lays in what type of bean you're cooking - I would take Pinto beans over broccoli any day however if it were lama beans I would have to pass - big smile just kidding - Very well written Tanka - God Bless
