An Ode To Brussel Sprouts

This is quite a bit overdue my friends
It's an ode to Brussel Sprouts
Those delicious spherical bundles of joy
Not too popular hereabouts

Poor wee fellows just want to be loved
Along with the other veggies
They've long had a real image problem
About as popular as a wedgie

Thinking of starting a worldwide petition
Any Soupers wishing to join
Send a hundred dollars to me, Jester Jack
You'll receive a commemorate coin

Along with the coin you'll receive a bushel
Of these oh so luscious little critters
As a bonus for ordering before December
An autographed picture of John Ritter


Hey, it rhymes doesn't it !!!

Dragon loved it... The penguins want anchovies sent with their Brussel Sprouts... LOL... Silly Man! Jack Ellison November 5, 2013 at 4:18 PM What on earth is the Nigerian Check Scam??? Love from Canada xoxoxox

Russell Sivey November 5, 2013 at 6:53 AM Ha ha, you are the master at making something that seems so insignificant and making it into something hilariously funny and grand! I really enjoyed reading your delightful poem this morning my friend! What a terrific piece, such a tremendous poem, Great Work!! Jack Ellison November 5, 2013 at 6:57 AM Actually would love a whole plate full of brussel sprouts right now for brekkie! LOL
