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...
Cook the green beans
As you always do
When ready drain the water
Add a little oil then heat up
For a minute can add garlic
Crack and egg into the beans
With a wooden spoon mix together
Until egg is mixed all through
Now serve with the meal
This vegetable with egg can
Be served with every meal.
Mommie do I have to eat these green beans and broccoli?
Mommie do I have to deplete these green beans and broccoli?
Man, mama yo sure is...mean
Makin' me eat them there broccoli and green-beans.......UGH!!!

Automaton green beans
soon ruled the planet.
Resistance was futile
we were conditioned to think
they were good for us.
If only they had been
brussels sprouts,
Green, crunchy, munchy, tasteful
I always eat mine because I'm not wasteful
they taste so good in a casserole
but I like to eat mine in a bowl.
Green Beans are so good
if you have not tried them you really should
they may blow your mind
i think it is the best vegetable i ever did find.
Always hated green beans on my plate The older I became Rage turned into Pure unadulterated hate Eat your green beans Grow up tall and strong Can`t believe all those years My mother kept singing this song When eyes looked away Before our meal was done Out the window went the green beans To bask in the sun Maybe one day before it is all said and done I will enjoy eating green beans Doubt it Only way would be for you to have a gun
There once was a lad who loved beans,
But only the ones that were green.
For breakfast, dinner and lunch,
Even for snacks and brunch,
All he wanted to eat were green beans.
He planted a garden of his own,
And green bean seeds were all that were sown.
Row upon row of beans grew,
Much more than a few,
And he picked them when they were done growin'.
Once picked he would snap them all up,
And measure them out by the cup.
He cooked some with a ham,
Turned others into jam,
Then invited his friends to come sup.
Now, his friends thought him a mite *****.
His diet of green beans caused some fear.
If green beans were all he ate,
What would be his fate?
'Cause he's starting to look green 'round the ears.

Snapping those green beans, hear them pop
Hear my whimpering flop.
Multiplying
In the bucket,maybe could swap
Beans for good coffee stop
I am absconding
In secret I'll go to Whistle Stop
Hidden all from view shop
Green beans done now slurping
The bucket of beans stares me down
Duty calls accomplish this task
No! Poetry comes first for me__frown
"What about other jobs", he asks.
When will I finish this load__care
Today will slip away from here
Out soon into land of dreams
Make believe and fancy wild schemes
Like the Lilies__ neither toil; spin
None more magnificently clothed
I will be just as lovely as them
My clothing will be love's spirit
Praise God for those clothes__Glory Him
Wonderful worship this day brings
Thank you God for a few moments
To glorify your Holy name...Amen
