Limerick

There once was a jokester fellow Who switched the hot habanero A mild sweet banana bought One tender succlent sought When orange pepper he bit bellowed
My husband bought some peppers for our garden. He wanted me to make some pepper sauce so he wanted some cayene but could not find any so he picked up one and said this one is a Jalapeno..So one day I was out in the garden and saw that pepper plant..I told him there is a pepper plant down there that has what looks like deformed Bell Peppers on it..I pulled the one that was on there and tasted just a little bite. It wasn't hot but I could tell that if I took another bite it would be warm but I have had Bell Peppers to have just a little heat. I told him it wasn't hot..So one turned orange and he pulled it and took a big bite..Well, you know the rest of the story..

Jack, Tommy bought a Habanero pepper plant and I had never seen a habanero pepper so I thought that there was something wrong with that plant and the peppers were not getting the proper nutrition but they were just fine but no one could eat those. Sara
