Health Food
What a wonderful place this world would be,
If we didn't have spinach and broccoli.
Some other things we could do without,
Are cauliflower, peas, and Brussels sprouts.
And then there are carrots, pulled from the dirt.
Just the thought of them causes my tummy to hurt.
I hate rutabaga and turnips and beans,
And all that asparagus, yucky and green.
Wouldn't it be great to not have to eat
Parsnips and squash and cabbage and beets!
We'd all do much better, eating health foods, it seems,
Like hot dogs, and pizza, and chocolate ice cream.
