Veggies!

Mr. waiter, please oblige my request,

Serve to me your finest as I dine with you tonight.



I want green beans, and turnip greens,

I even want peas and carrots.



An ear of corn with butter and a baked potato piping hot.

You might also add some chives and cheese,

Just to hit the spot.



If it's on your menu,

I would also like some grilled zuchini.



Oh yes, I almost forgot!  

For my drink, I would like carrot juice on the rocks.



These foods I am deprived of, for I always eat at McDonalds.



For breakfast an "Egg McMuffin," for lunch, a "Quarter Pounder,"

And every night for dinner, I have good ole "Chicken McNuggets."



Mr. waiter, can't you see, my body is screaming out for veggies!



If it's not too much trouble, to end my evening meal,

I would surely love a large slice of sweet potato pie!

Ever get so tired of eating "fast foods,"

I get so sick of fast food that every thing later on tastes exactly the same. (Even with onions on! LoL) I hate hamburgers even if I make it myself. Even eating out a lot has the same effect. I love my veggies and would easily become a vegetarian.

RE: Melvin Yes, Melvin, I must agree with you, my title is not befitting for my silly poem. I shall change it right now from "Vegetables" to "Veggies". Thanks for the tip, Tricia

Hhmmm....it's me again. Hehhe.. was wondering abt the title, Tricia. If this poem is of a silly nature, perhaps u wanna change the title to a more casual slang - 'Veggies ! ' (yes, with an exclamation mark ) It may hit the spot better. smilesz. JUst wondering...

Hehehe...i like the singsong manner of this. Easy and simply framed...no frills at all in its thematic or structural aspects, quite like veggies themselves..Smilesz. Nice little ditty, Tricia. Write more of such,,, it will surely perk up your mood, and readers' too ~! haha. Ciao..
