Boys' Taste Buds Get Refined

So many boys just cannot stand carrots
Orange veggie sticks for them have no merit
   But as their eyesight declines
   Their taste buds get more refined
Orange eye candy's sweet ~ They can stare at it

Hilarious to me as the opossums and the raccoons have put their snooty snouts up at the cup of carrots I left out on the front porch a week ago.

Thanks for your generous assessment of my wit, Panagiota! -- Although since never attended 'WITS' (Wisconsin Institute of Torah Study), I have always considered myself 'WIT-less. Smiles, Gershon

G'day Gershon … love carrots; raw, cooked, or honeyed, but I still need reading glasses. Hopefully there's carrot for tea Gershon - thanks Mate - Lindsay

A carrot on a saucer next to the tea,...and a stick with which to stir it. Thanks, Lindsay, Gershon
