Best Salad Poems

Spring is a colorful salad
Roses are her radishes
Marigold her croutons
Lilacs in her dressing, dribbling sweetly
She is tossed in wind storms

Spring is a tasty salad
She uplifts the diners
She delights the songbirds
She nurtures the baby lambs
She brings greenery back to the meadow

Spring is a hearty salad
She feeds...

The grandfather on my mother's side was a cheapskate. 
A real cheapskate.
One Christmas, he gave me a used paperback book.
Something like “Jimmy Plays Baseball.”
It was written for a 7 year old child, and I was considerably older than that.
Still had “5 cents” written in pencil...

Someone offered me a taste 
of what they call fruit spirit salad 
It wasn't made with oranges or grapes 
and it didn't tempt my palate 

This salad was made of fruits of what we call the spirit 
So listen carefully my friends, you might just...

Lettuce mixed with coconut
Sliced grapes and oil nuts
Specialty tuna from sea
This is just for me
Nice glass of rum punch
Watch out man— 
Done!

Many can recall and recollect
the halcyon moments of carefree abandon 
When juvenile limbs climbed upon cedar limbs 
or squatted under oak or baobab shades
while languishing in youthful salad days
As they chased butterflies or katydids 
Yet ironically in their prime 
most disdained the veggie salads.

No bothering...

Salad, salad, salad, every day of the year
To keep me thin and trim, it's not working I fear
You'd think by now
I'd be slimmer than a cow
This obsession for Big Macs is really severe...

Yes, the time had allowed another opportunity to be near you,
Though well heaven knows whenever you are near my fear crunches my breath,
Leaving me starving for you, and wanting nothing more than to flee…

I stood in line, mainly because my family was there…
God knows I...

My darling Clementine
Thought you were a satsuma
Or maybe mandarin
Did not mean to presume a
Variety, you cutie
Ambrosia made with halos
By whatever name you go
You orange little beauty...

With a committed one, it is wonderful and decent to chill
but you eat the combination of the salad still.

Twelve noon is different from nine cos it feels more like the day
then longing for midnight all because the sun has gone away.

You lie on rocks, sands...

At the market three veggies were chosen!
They found themselves inside a cart!
Their future they started discussing!
They were curious right from the start!

The Tomato, said there's a rumor.
The rumor he stated, was valid.
The Lettuce and Carrott cried "tell us!"
He said "we're gonna end up in a...

People think plants are not violent 
This is where I will tend to disagree
Have you ever seen a vine strangle a tree?
What about when a fly is devoured by the Venus?
When the weeds clog the yard with such immensity that drains every nearby plant?

Sure you...

A really mouth watering sandwich
one that wets an hungry appetite
just what sandwich does one select
from a selection of bread brown and white

The favourite one for my tum
is one filled with cheese and hams
along with tomato, cucumber and onion
honey mustard on top of lettuce at 200...

No one likes dead lettuce
It must be crisp and cool
And dousing wounds with vinegar
Is certainly not cruel!

For Vegans can not see
Why lettuce choose to be
On a different frequency
Than Donald Trump might be

A salad will pass away
Shivering with cold today
Disgusted Vegans will say,
"I never heard lettuce...
