Vegetables
by Sue Saladino

You cannot be an ear of corn,
Because you do not have a cob.
You cannot be a pea,
Because you don't have a pod.

I know you're not lettuce,
Even though you have a head.
Maybe you are spinach,
Or a brussel sprout instead?

Could you be an okra,
A zucchini or a bean?
If you're a tomato,
You're the cutest one I've seen.

Are you a potato,
With gorgeous, big brown eyes?
How about trying on
An acorn squash for size?

You're not a carrot or an onion,
'Cause you don't grown in the ground.
If you're a cucumber,
You're the sweetest one around.

Doctors say that you're a vegetable,
They do not see your charms.
Vegetables belong in gardens,
Not cradled in my arms.

So, let others think what they want,
You and I know what's true.
I'm not crazy about vegetables,
But I'm crazy about you!

Sue Saladino 4/20/2000
(for my "veggies" Matt and Alex)

I really loved this poem!! I've always thought it was strange too, how medicine deemed people as vegetables and your poem really brought it to light.
