Food for sport
I’m a bean baker, been baking beans years
You’re a cream icer, both nice cool careers
I eat Marmite, but Ma might not, I fear
Reg eats his veg at tables very near
My brother scratches pork with a fork. Queer!
My mother eats a pizza. Mamma mia!
Green beans? I do a runner. My scene’s beer
Ketchup makes me retch up. Tomatoes? Bleuurrggh!
My daughter drinks water; that should be clear
My son, try some pineapple, try some pear
Beetroot is purple: popular, I hear
Toward healthy food, stealthily we steer
Don’t hoard wealth, you can afford to be freer
A smorgasbord of pub grub’s not too dear

I love Beetroot
Round and red
Love it sliced on my bread.
Hot or cold
The colour purple is bold
Unlike any veggie sold.
Good for you too!
Good poem.Antonioni
