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!
