Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Zucchini

I do not like the taste of zucchini,
          so might I please suggest
      we have instead fettuccini?
                    That dish has zest!

Zucchini is considered a veggie
          very healthful for you,
      but I’d rather get a wedgie
                    than eat that poo!

Baked in cakes or bread, it tastes good to me.
          Sweet is better than raw.
      Eating it plain should be
                    against the law!

Marikate Kingston March 25, 2023 at 4:30 PM I don't mind breaded zucchinni, but the word itself is funny to say. It rhymes with other cute words..bikini, tortellini. You are such a wonderful poet and I enjoy your writing so much. It motivates me to learn new ways to write poems.

Sam Kauffman January 24, 2023 at 12:28 PM Very cute Andrea!!! Our boys wouldn't eat zucchini until I marinated it in a lemon marinade then they scarfed it up like freshly baked cookies. As children, our boys would hardly concur with your dislike of zucchini! Blessings!

Constance La France January 24, 2023 at 7:48 AM Andrea, congratulations on your placement in my Writing Challenge - Zip, Zig, Zag, Zing, I love your delightful poem, well done, Constance

Sara Kendrick January 18, 2023 at 8:34 AM Back with congratulations. I like zucchini cooked in several ways. Amazing what different taste we all have isn't it. Sara

Christuraj Alex January 17, 2023 at 11:50 PM We have plenty of Zucchini in southern parts of India. Some relish it while some hate the taste of it. Beautiful writing. Congratulations!

Weston Gregory January 5, 2023 at 4:23 PM A full fun one, I am stuck at the cheek split.....I can't stop laughing the cheek of them to do such to you Andrea......very happy new year

Sara Kendrick January 5, 2023 at 1:31 PM I like zucchini but only when cooked is some way. Thanks for sharing this contest entry and for dropping by my page. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara

Charlotte Puddifoot January 5, 2023 at 8:07 AM is it another name for courgette? i think so, and if so i like em, especially in pasta bakes lol Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2023 at 9:42 AM Probably veggie lovers will not like my poem very much. I am really picky on the veggies I like to eat raw. Just the basic salad greens, carrots, celery and peppers!!

Bryan Norton January 5, 2023 at 3:14 AM I don't like zucchini either, except pickled in a fine chili. Give it a wish, or give it a wash, wishy and washy and married to squash. Dish it and fish it right out of your soup. Crave it or save it for Augustus Gloop. I liked your poem, Andrea. You win a free lifetime supply of -- worms! P.S. When it's not the name of a Starfleet captain, Zucchini is a fruit, not a veggie. Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2023 at 9:42 AM Even worse . If it's a fruit, it's a blemish to the name of fruit.

Victor Buhagiar January 5, 2023 at 2:43 AM I like zucchini but I don't eat them much. Lovely humorous poem. Best for a win. Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2023 at 9:43 AM Thanks, Victor.

Joanna Daniel January 5, 2023 at 12:22 AM Hmmm, interesting one, Andrea:) I chose a safer word, "Zinnia" Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2023 at 9:43 AM Yeah, I will likely be low on the list with something like this. I just wanted a topic that hopefully nobody else did!!
