Maddish For a Radish

I love a radish in the springtime! I love a radish in the fall! I take my car and park it, There at the farmer's market, And buy out every radish stall! If there’s kohlrabi, I’ll buy a few A tasty turnip I will not eschew, But I love a radish when the sun’s up, And even more when it begins to set, But at the stroke of midnight There’s nothing else I will bite Cept’ for all the radish I can get. And as for parsnips, they make me larf; And salsify? My gosh I just might barf! But I love a radish on my waffles, As filling in my chocolate radish cake, Tho’ once, while in Calcutta, I wolfed down radish butta, and I never will forget the belly-ache!
