I'm told to eat my veggies
to grow up big and strong
But I don't think my tummy
is where those things belong

Rutabagas, parsnips
beets and leafy things
Do not ever fill me up
I need some onions rings

Taters, radishes, carrots
and other rooty stuff
Don't really taste too good
and satisfy enough

The roughage of a veggie
doesn't slide down well
Cook me up a burer
and ring the dinner bell

I'll take a bun, a hot dog
and a pickle dill
Charcoaled hot and tasty
on the backyard grill

One veggie that I like
is plump, round and red
I squeeze it out the bottle
on my sandwich bread

If I get behind in eating
leafy, rooty food
I'll pour it out on my plate
and Catchup for good

how you react to what I do
isn't about me, but all about you

..behave and eat your vegatables!

This is sumptuously scrumptious! I love everything that you wrote about! I have a very balanced diet---half of it's healthy and half of it's not! tehe

Delightful read!
