Eggplant Stuffed Mama

Eggplant stuffed mama sporting a big dress
With two twin rams – lettuce and watercress
Marched into the fray and demanded to be heard.
Some of the thinner women yelled “my word!”

I pretended that eggplant mama was as thin as me
Which is not so thin now that I am two hundred and three
But there is a difference for she is an eggplant, and I am a hog.
The rams were immediately chased downhill by an old farm dog.
