Vegetables Have Feelings Too

Vegetables have feelings too Cauliflower Cathy Put on her Sunday best Forgetting it was Saturday She hadn’t had much rest Working in the garden This place she called her home Tending to her children She never was alone Yet something it was missing She felt it deep inside So Cauliflower Cathy Sat on the ground and cried She had so many children She tended to with care No matter what they asked for Dear Cathy she was there It mattered not the hour The weather on that day For Cauliflower Cathy Took all their fears away She made her children happy So big and green they’d grow But still she often wondered If true love she would know Then sitting in her garden She heard a different voice And couldn’t help but listen She really had no choice The voice it sounded friendly Coming from next door Another person’s garden Another person’s chore She glanced in that direction A man her eyes did see Waving from his garden Smiling happily Her heart it went a’ flutter She fixed her golden hair Then walked up to the fence line These gardens they did share My name is Carrot Charlie That is what he said A leaf of green was growing from The top of Charlie’s head I’m Cauliflower Cathy I’ve not seen you before Out here in this garden Never, I am sure He said he understood this Though he had been around But mostly every sunny day He spent them underground He asked if she remembered Last spring or there about When both of them were planted She was a little sprout She listened to him talking Her heart it sure was fed She found that he was handsome Then this is what he said If I may be so forward I’ve watched you for a while I’ve dreamed someday to meet you I really like your smile And if you wouldn’t mind it I’d cover the expense I hope you will agree with me That we take down this fence I’ll help you with your children And you can help with mine We’ll have the biggest garden If only you’d be mine The two they worked together For they were now in love They welcomed every rain drop Each sun beam from above Now Cauliflower Cathy With Charlie as her man Lived happily ever after Tending to their clan So tonight while eating dinner If on your plate you view These vegetables, remember That they have feelings too Hey, Darren White said it is Happy Poem Wednesday. : )
