An Odd Dilemma

An Odd Dilemma

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

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!

Thanks, HH!
Haha! Cute and very funny. The capitalization make it even funnier, adding that extra emphasis to it. Nicely done.
