Green beans and peas

05/01/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation 



I like green beans and peas

And corn and carrots, too,

And mushrooms and Brussel sprouts

(Sautéed, if you’d like to know)



I like green beans and peas

And potatoes – plain and sweet –

Give me broccoli and cauliflower

And sliced or shredded beet



I like green beans and peas

And red cabbage shredded fine

With leek and chives and cucumbers

Or roasted eggplant on which to dine



I like green beans and peas

And braised bok choi as well

Maybe spinach with some feta

And capsicum not done too well



I like green beans and peas

And onions cooked on a barbecue

With raw tomato and lettuce

And we have to give celery it’s due



I like green beans and peas

And radishes by the bunch

Give me rhubarb pie for dessert

And pumpkin soup for lunch



I like green beans and peas

Put lemongrass in my tea

Dice up those shallots

But keep asparagus away from me
