Song for Some Garden Vegetables

Veggies Veggies
how I like to see you grow
in our family garden plot

Veggies Veggies
growing well
you’ll be delicious
I can tell

Peas Peas
sealed in a pod
plump as you please
press the curve top
hear the pod pop

Peas Peas
all in a row
into my mouth you go

Tomatos Tomatos
green and round
we’re waiting
and waiting
for you to glow
like small suns
yellow orange red

Tomatos Tomatos
when you are ready
at last
I’ll gobble you
yum-dilly-dum
down to my tum

Veggies Veggies
wonderful Veggies
how I like to see you grow
in our family garden plot

Veggies Veggies
growing so well
you are delicious
I’m here to tell

Cucumber Cucumber
prickly green fellow
crunchy and cool
I’ll carefully slice you
as soon as you’re clean

Cucumber Cucumber
sweet watery crisp
A whole cuke for me
is a summery dream
an enormous delight
in every bite
chomp chomp
crunch crunch
swallow

Carrot oh Carrot
orange arrow growing
down in the ground
Feathery green fronds
waving up top
help me pull you up

One good wipe
in soft grass and clover
quick shower under the tap
then I’ll eagerly snap off
your tip with my teeth

Carrot oh Carrot
scrumptious root golden
with sunny inner design
divine and delectable
every time

Veggies Veggies
how I love to see you grow
in our family garden plot

Veggies Veggies
growing so well
nutritious delicious
thank-you, you’re swell
