the cucumber was in a pickle
juiced up on vinegar and salt
didn't know what to do
or who it was at fault
he had to squash all measure
from rind to the tiniest seed  
until someone bows to the pressure
and provides the cabbage they need
lettuce all be grapeful
that all is not lost
for  tomato is so magical
especially when those
mashed up are like 2 peas in a pod
and the roots run deep and wide
in the newly turned leaf and sod
