Notes About The Poem

Woman-Owned Green Beans

Woman-owned green beans won't string you along, But if you're a man, it’s likely you're wrong. Woman-owned green beans, our virtues extole, Hand-picked from the bush, eschewing the pole. Woman-owned green beans for the man of the hour, We’d best make that two, they still need a shower. Woman-owned green beans are never on sale, ‘Cuz working for less is beyond the pale.
---------- got a chuckle out of this label at the store...

Jeff, your words resonate with the joy of women and beans, and your depictions are beautiful.

Me too, Jeff. I like your poem...funny and metaphoric I think. Good writing.
