Food Folly

I love mushrooms with eyes peeping out under their caps, their hats I love broccoli with curly green tops Curly green hair I love asparagus with their long slender bodies and pointy heads and they don’t taste like grass I love Brussel sprouts Little bundles of joy Bathing in buttery sauce Lots of buttery sauce I love carrot juice Very orange but they don’t taste like oranges I love blueberries in yogurt, cereal or cream They go good with just about everything even by themselves One by one I pop them in my mouth There’s no singing the blues with blueberries Blueberries are absolutely my favorite Not like all those I listed before 'cause I was fibbing Don’t tell my Mom ‘cause I only like them a little bit Or not at all Yuck!
