Vegetable Journey

You grew up in the dark and distant loam
and were packed in a produce truck to roam,
but you've naught to fear
of my knife my dear - 
vegetable, my stomach's your new home.

Sharks have said that to swimmers, so look out vegetables. I always love your limericks.

Isn’t your stomach a dark lonely place - When you have eaten me, can I escape - Will I look the same - Or never again - Be proud of my shape, and amazing grace…… Beryl the Vegetable

haha, hi Beryl the Vegetable, my stomach might be a little bit dark, but not lonely - you wouldn't be the only - one there. After my big lunch - you'll find a bunch - of other vegetables there!
