Peter Dome Poet Rhyme

Cabbage Cabbage Cabbage

Cabbage cabbage cabbage
it seems to have become a habit
Whenever I go for a meal
At someone's house
They must think that I'm a rabbit.!

I sure hate the stuff
It takes ages to chew
And like eating carpet
It's tough..

Then they ask
''is everything alright''
As I'm holding my bum cheeks tight
To hide my embarrassment
Shoving so much cabbage
Down someone's throat
Should be classed as harassment
And an't no joke..

When no one's looking
I shove it down my pants
That leaves a stain
Hard to explain.

Eating cabbage is such a choir
Unless your a rabbit
Just as you can't take no more
They give you more
And I force a smile.

You leave with sore gums
Sore bum
You ignore each invite when they come
Or make an excuse
At last I can let the methane loose..


perhaps my girlfriends mothers didn't like me after all.
