I wrote this piece in response to a request to write a poem that would encourage children to eat all their vegetables.
Vegetables A huddle of potatoes on a plate Called to the beans, “You're late, you're late.” As all the peas hopped round about. While a lonely carrot waltzed a sprout, Then the beans came one by one, Eager to frolic and join the fun. A baritone artichoke sang a song As a lively aubergine danced along. Until a parsnip and a swede Gave the call, “It’s time to feed”. Then a fork and a spoon Slowly came into the room. A giant cavern opened wide And all the vegetables danced inside.
