The Fruit and Veggie Shop

There once was an old grocery store
which sold nutritious produce galore
It's windows were full.
There was never a lull
in custom to buy more and more.

From outside the windows looked cute,
pitching every conceivable fruit.
Yet inside showed greens;
  Sprouts, peas and beans
and large cabbages -  whatever might suit. 

There were big ripe firm red tomatoes
And sackfuls of all kinds of potatoes
and all kinds of rices
at very good prices

And even some nice ripe avocados.

I can still hear my Mum saying clear,
 "Eat your veggies and fruit like a dear,
They'll make you grow strong,
And your life will prolong
And make you be kind and sincere!"


That's shallot . . . . 
. . . . well I could have said onion but that would have made you cry!

( hm! . . . . I wonder if Mum was right!)

Some people are surprised and touched by my use of the word "sincere".  Well, it was the only word to mind that seemed to scan and rhyme with "clear" and "dear" . . . . ROFL
