Safeway --Washington

Haughty Banana turns away from Cabbage and holds her nose. Amorous Apple whispers to Peach, "You're much lovelier than Rose". Fragile Lettuce edges away from frozen Maiden Ice Cream, And shy Violet cries to one and all, "If you come near me I'll scream". Butter is quickly looking around to find his close pal Bread And Cauliflower has stolen a mirror to gaze at her pretty head. Young Weiner says to old Hot Dog, "Now what are we doing here"? Old Hot Dog smiles and cajoles his friend, "We're going to a picnic, Dear".

Wow! It think if these particular foods were talking I can really see them talking like this. I think it's pretty honest and funny at the same time. Congratulations on your win!
