In Protest of Science

I'd like you to meet my Uncle Joe He's the vegetable of our family. That is, if we listen to statistics. According to them, the experts, Since Joe didn't die by the age of five He is now a vegetable. Well! We wish every family Could have vegetable like ours; On that walks, talks And has given us many years Of pure pleasure and More love than we'll ever deserve. How many vegetables do you know That give the world's best hugs And tell you every day you are beautiful? How many vegetables do you know That pray for you every day? How many vegetables can crack you up By misquoting old sayings- "You can lead a horse to water But you can't make him stand on his head"? Yes, we are extremely fond of our vegetable He's been in our family Over 50 years and although He is pretty spoiled rotten by now As vegetbles sometimes Become after a time We plan to keep him around for fifty more!
