<strong>Poems</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Kids</strong> Let’s Be Silly!<br />

The Sad Demise of the Vegetables<br />

Nicole Braganza<br />

I lost my head, the lettuce said<br />

A bounteous mop of green,<br />

And someone even spilled<br />

An agitated string of beans,<br />

Then Potato lost an eye<br />

And Corn Cob lost an ear,<br />

A pink and sentimental onion<br />

Shed a lonesome tear.<br />

A mushy heart of artichoke,<br />

Welled up with such compassion,<br />

A hand of bananas was chopped off<br />

In such a ruthless fashion,<br />

No rib of celery was spared,<br />

No neck of squash released,<br />

And sad to say, this was the way<br />

The vegetables deceased.<br />

A Household Name<br />

Gord Braun<br />

there was a certain Turkish king<br />

who liked his spices hot<br />

among them was a condiment<br />

he really liked a lot<br />

<strong>for</strong> this he earned a moniker<br />

of great and lasting fame<br />

and that's how sultan pepper<br />

got to be a household name<br />
