Ready for her stage debut.

It's worse than a bath.

It's...math!

between beans and broccoli.
Sadly, no winner
emerges from this dark fog.

I have a craving for cheese
Milky smooth and oozy;
Hot and melty, buttery
Cheese sauce smothering
My broccoli wood
It’s cheesy 
Joy....

Broccoli and cheese,
they go so well together,
just like you and I.
We're two good ingredients.
Won't you join me in this soup?

More nutritious
Than a bean,
I do appreciate 
Your green,
But raw,
You are extremely crunchy,
Roasted,
Just a mushy-munchy.
Steaming 
Makes you awfully wet.
Sorry -
‘Still don’t like you yet!...

Turtles and iguanas do not eat meat.
Beef and chicken to them is not tasty or sweet.
They go for bugs and tiny plants that are green.
If you do not believe me, here is my cousin, Big Dean.
Big Dean is an expert. He is married to a turtle gal.
Broccoli, plants, lettuce and flies satisfy his wife, Miss Sal....

Once upon a time, Lucy useless
Would eat breath mints
Even though she had no teeth

Lucy juicy
Dance watusi
Eats watermelons because they're juicy

She don't like broccoli
Drinks hot chocolate
Shallows properly

Even though she had no teeth
She would still eat
Blazen hot roast-beef

Revise, revise.
Rewrite, rewrite.
Marketing, marketing, marketing.
If you're in search of fortune,
It seems a price to pay.
It goes against nearly 
everything 
when speaking to the muse.
Stare starlit--
the moon's not far behind.
Give yourself permission.
To eat broccoli
And love it.
Roll in the snow naked.
Walk like the turtle
And travel by bus....

my love is chocolate
my love is brussel sprouts
my love is a big ole kid
my love is just another bid

my love is vanilla
my love is broccoli
my love is a whiny baby
my love is if, and, but, and maybe

my love is cookies and cream
my love is eggplant
my love is an embryo waiting to be born
my love is anticipation right before sunrise in the early morn...
