You've heard of the children of the corn This my friend is much scarier than that Here to make sure you eat all your vegetables Adults of the Asparagus Set in a quaint New England town Could be in any novel by Stephen King Making sure both the young and the old Eat their veggies raw, sauteed, or steamed They'll make you sit by yourself at the table With the dog behind the door when they lock it Before you leave the table they'll frisk you And have you empty out all of your pockets You will shudder with butter on the side Salting to taste if you must Making sure you eat every last bite Adults of the Asparagus

Adults of the Asparagus (The Horror!)
You've heard of the children of the corn This my friend is much scarier than that Here to make sure you eat all your vegetables Adults of the Asparagus Set in a quaint New England town Could be in any novel by Stephen King Making sure both the young and the old Eat their veggies raw, sauteed, or steamed They'll make you sit by yourself at the table With the dog behind the door when they lock it Before you leave the table they'll frisk you And have you empty out all of your pockets You will shudder with butter on the side Salting to taste if you must Making sure you eat every last bite Adults of the Asparagus
Eating veggies can be scary! Scared yet?
