An Odd Dilemma

What shall I do...

I’m shopping vegetarian

There’s trouble in my cart

Each vegetable I put there

Has a body part!

 

I cannot eat an EAR of corn

Or EYES on a potato,

Cut up a HEAD of cabbage

Or the FLESH of a tomato

 

A RIB of celery puts me off

And HEARTS of palm do, too

Don’t start me on the KIDNEY beans

They’re not a proper chew

 

How to solve this odd dilemma?

I guess I’ll just eat fruit…

Some juicy NAVAL oranges,

A banana HAND…

Aw, shoot!

Ha, ha, ha! This is good. But you know.... if we weren't meant to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat? HA!

I enjoy everything you write Rita. You are so good with words.
