Salad Days
Virginia Salter

the salad of the day
for just a bit of pay
heaped up highly
falling over slyly

which way to tackle it
that’s the big question
if I eat much of it
I’ll get indigestion

the salad of the day
can’t give it away
peas are floating
on the spinach
bacon’s coated
with cream finish

sliced eggs mounded high
eat a bit, then heave a sigh
‘spargus spears snipped and draggin’
in the dressing, leaves are saggin’

look at her
she’s feeling bloated
one more bite
she’ll be exploded
won’t you have a heart, dear friend,
take a bite so this can end!

mushrooms sliced and lazy layin’
time to do some real fine prayin’
stomach’s ‘bout to pop, fine sir
come on, fella, give a stir
oh, well, just throw it out
no one’s gonna sit and pout

eatin’ more?  just can’t abide
it’d be sure herbicide!
