A poem to your favorite vegetable, or vegan/vegetarian dish.

Red Cabbage:

So tasty and red
That scarlet cabbage
Lingers and grows
in the vegetable bed.

Oh red one
I should have mistrusted you.
Not a conch shell can copy
The farts that I blew.
Like a trumpet so high
Or didgeridoo
I Dedicate
The next note to you.

I think especially now that veganism and vegetarianism are on the increase, we should celebrate fruits and vegetables more.

They're no longer just that garnish or side-dish that ends up in the bin.

So, whether written by a current or ancient bard - please share your thoughts on your favorite healthy, succulent vegetable.

Hey, if you don't like some, that's OK too.

ATS sent the first message, not sure how to get rid of it.
I've clicked, but nothing happens.
WTF is a form-field?

I looked into her eyes under the darkest blue skies and fell in love with my slender Yvette.

She's sexy and lithe and delightful inside - she's very much like a courgette.

How true.

Some post-war men came home liking linguini
But I would say no,
Not without a zucchini.

In my lover's eyes
I don't see flashes of Waco

When she hands me the scriptures
She's my sweet potato.

a reply to: halfoldman

When you're working all day
Sweat hard and lumber

There's nothing as cool
As beer and cucumber.

I thought I'd never survive the barracks
The shouts, the tears
The insults and hot-heads.

Surviving all those nasty louts
Means I can survive
These brussel sprouts.

Whatever your age
Or ethnic lineage
Popeye has proved
There's power in spinach.

Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat the more you toot
The more you toot, the better you feel
So eat some beans with every meal

a reply to: skunkape23

Beans - a can
I'm a big bean fan

So easy to microwave
So easy to bake.

Humanity loves beans from the
Taj Mahal to Dover
I'm a has-bean
When this poem is over.

Apples are really misunderstood.
They call it an ovary, when it's really a "fruit".

Buy them in packets or select them quite loose
And nothing is better than fresh apple juice.

So your back has gashes
Cause you know marijuana

All you need is potassium.
Here, have a banana.

Melons are so sweet and cool.

When they break you in the desert

They make all the guys drool.

Roses are red
And I aint fakin'
The hell with veggies
Gimmie my bacon

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

The bacon is butchered,
And that is quite savage
Just mind the dead insects
And give me red cabbage.

a reply to: halfoldman
There is nothing quite tasty
As a smoky, crisp mountain of pork
Now please stand back
But first hand me my fork

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I hope that fat all men keep.
Because my comrade,
Is all between me and the deep.

a reply to: halfoldman

'Your wish is granted'
Said the Swami of Swine
But it was not warranted
As bacon is mine, Mine, MINE
