Veggies, Veggies, Veggies

Veggies, veggies, I sure love my veggies Just about any that you can name A salad a day for more than two years now You'd think I would tire of 'em but hey, not me Still the best meal of the day With my favourite Poppy Seed Dressing What could be better A meal fit for a king, hmmm maybe not A kings feast is comprised of raw meat With beautiful slave girls standing by Waiting to grant me my every wish Hmmm! That sure sounds pretty good to me How does one become king Is there some exam you have to pass I'm a pretty smart cookie Should pass it with flying colours Would like a crown of solid gold Bedazzled with rubies and sapphires An ermine cloak and dazzling rings on every finger! Am I overdoing it, you think This all started out talking about veggies Did you noticed at what point it started down a different path Oh well back to boring old veggies Somehow they've lost their appeal Gotta leave you now Going to take than exam to hopefully become king Veggies, veggies, veggies! © Jack Ellison 2014

Dragon LOVED THIS! He's not a veggie sort of a guy. And crowns, meat, and blink surely make him sing! But I finely chop up veggies into every thing he eats... What he doesn't know, won't hurt him... or at least that's what I think... OOPPPS... He heard me... It's a labor of love Dragon... I'm trying to keep you in the pink... And you use so much barbecue sauce... That you can't tell, Don't you think.... UH I actually got him thinking! No! That wasn't being snarky... much!... LOL... Got ta run!

Ha ha ha, you surely lost your focus on this write...from veggies to King, King of the Veggies, could you be that? Who wouldn't want to be King, I guess women wouldn't, but they could become your Queen, now wouldn't that be nice? lol, you have a grand sense of humor Jack! I just loved reading this enlightening poem here this morning! What a fantastic piece, Great Work!!
