Gratitude For Recent Food
Columbus — on a notion —
To find a shorter route,
Sailed across the ocean
And discovered awesome food!
Tasty sweet potatoes,
The corn-grain of the land,
And wholesome avocados
Delighted western Man.
Peppers — shipped to yonder —
Created a sensation
As potatoes sated hunger
In many a needy nation.
Tomatoes, great for sauces,
The pineapple — sweet marvel,
And green-bean pods, and squashes
Were all entirely novel.
Flavor-fave vanilla,
Strawberry-red gems,
Plus chocolate, all-time thriller
From America, do stem.
And peanuts, two per pod,
Pecans, and bent cashews….
Let’s give thanks to G-d
For all the recent foods!
