Green Beans

Always hated green beans on my plate      The older I became      Rage turned into      Pure unadulterated hate      Eat your green beans      Grow up tall and strong      Can`t believe all those years      My mother kept singing this song      When eyes looked away      Before our meal was done      Out the window went the green beans      To bask in the sun      Maybe one day before it is all said and done      I will enjoy eating green beans       Doubt it Only way would be for you to have a gun

hahahaha. Just had to read this one called Green beans and it was worth it. But they are glorious compared to brussel sprouts, cabbage, asparagus and lima beans!
