Based on a joke sent to me by my daughter:

Their blushing cannot be suppressed Green tomatoes have this protest: Lettuce fresh out of bed Turns us shades of red When we watch that salad get dressed

Karen, yes I had a lot of fun with this one. I like how the bottle of dressing is suspended in mid air in the image.

Duke, a lively and humorous portrayal of vegetables as sentient beings with human-like emotions.

Yes if tomatoes could talk, what would they really say to us? They're a funny fruit.
