Turnip Greens

There is plenty of sunshine beaming down, And plenty of water too; enough to astound There has been an abundance of rain, Moisturizing major crops of grain And our vegetable garden out back Appear to be thriving and has no lack Leafy and lively vegetable are now in bloom Cucumbers and tomatoes will be bearing soon We also planted greens: mustards and turnips For reasons unknown, the mustards didn't survive. But it was about a week ago that I could be seen in our lovely little garden picking turnip greens Those greens were the first that I have ever grown They were grown for eating, not just to be shown Those greens were tasty, first pick of the harvest We anticipate only the best from all the rest.
