Call Me Miss Carrot
My carotene heart is bursting with orangeness
The zestiness inside me has created my zany urges
I am ready to be harvested; can you not see my verdant roof?
It is sticking out of the ground with my well rounded head.
I am crazy in love with the soil, but will be eager to be plucked
For I know someone will exclaim with delight at my crooked prettiness.
If there was a Miss Carrot contest, I would surely win it.
Self-confidence is oozing out of me into the soil as I speak.
The sun is up; the two-legs will be arriving shortly.
I stand up as high as I dare, feeling the warm sun
Admiring my healthy attitude and my healthier ways.
I can help you with your eyesight people.
Do you see me? Do you?
