The Okra

In the sunny day 
The okra is scattered 
So that it can get dried 
For a tasty stew.

Oh How I Hate Okra

There is a food I hate to eat,
I hate it in my mouth
it taste like slime in my mouth,
the nastiest food on earth!

Oh how I hate okra,
oh how I hate okra,
oh how I hate okra,
the nastiest food on earth!

It has a flower on its top,
and grows in the garden dirt,
it looks like a small cylinder
upon

Picking Okra Was Before Child Abuse Or I'D Rather Eat a Possum

Picking Okra was Before Child Abuse
or
I'd Rather Eat a Possum
By: Tom Wright
8/5/00

Layers of clouds lay overhead,
perhaps a summer rain.
Though tempted to denounce,
as a child, I would refrain.
A carpet of dust surrounds bare feet,
large drops are now falling,
Warm, as they hit my unclad back,
while from a distance, Mother calling.
Thunder cracking,
lightening flashes, at first, just a bit,
and

on the feeble stalks
ripe Okra swings steadily--

An Okra Insult

*Written as my hands are still burning from picking this vile vegetable*

"An Okra Insult"
        By Rachel Heffington

My wrath is on thee, Okra
I would dearly love to choke ya'
If you hadn't quite so many little hairs.
For they always make me itch,
In a manner fiery which
Isn't pleasant when the heat

Picking Okra

Okra grows as tall as me
It is sticky with an itchiness I see
My toes are bogging down in mud
Oh that is not mud
I see an old rotten canteloupe
With seeds on my toes
Okra is as long as a ruler

Okra

Okra when you pick it, is sticky
Okra is slimey when it is boiled
Okra is crunchy when it is battered and fried
Tomato makes the okra tasty

Old okra makes a boomerang
Okra seeds are good for a sling shot
Old okra is coarse and a tough knot
When I am hungry I slurp it up and sing!

My Okra.S Kin

Hi biscuit, you’re mighty and cute
So acute in hearing that I’m spearing fruit
Perhaps you didn’t know, I’ve lived in the South…too.
Entertained a name in the halls of high school
I thought it was cool, even back then
We were Rebels

Trivial this trivia of mine
Confuses many versed in sublime
My Confucius IS confusing
As are my rhymes butt
So what if

Okra and Rice

Tasty dish Okra and rice
with some salted fish,
Steamed down with coconut milk
onions, chives, and thyme,
it's a sight to see
but the taste!
Yum!
