Growing pains



A vegetable
a vegetable
a vegetable I grew.

I thought it was
I thought it was
A favorite of yours too.

But you said 'red'?
and I heard 'green'?
Will be the strangest
will be the strangest
will be the strangest vegetable I've seen.

Two vegetables
two vegetables
two vegetables I grew.

A nice green one for me
a nice green one for me
and a nice red one for you!

  1. Hi Dixie!
    I'm smiling away here, because I think that the little bunny rabbit that visits our garden is wishing for the green veggies! I do love fresh vegetables from the garden ~nothing like them~ so sweet and delicious!
    ...in any color!
    Have a happy, happy week*

  2. Hi Maria,
    Always good to hear from you! I've been loving your blog all spring and now into summer.
    We have a chocolate brown bunny who sits by the hedge and watches the yard. I have a feeling he likes veggies too!!
    Thank you, and I hope you have a happy week too.

  3. What a delightful poem, Dixie. You make me smile like a child enjoying a favorite story!:)

    I'll take those fresh veggies - green or red!

    Did I tell you how much I enjoy your pictures on the sidebar - I do!

    Smiles & blessings,
    M.

  4. Thank you, M. Sometimes I get these silly thoughts running through the brain, and before I know it, there's a silly song. So glad you came along!

    How about okra & tomatoes???
