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

Hello, Antonio

Excellent and amusing write. Like the creative site about veggies in your poem, it is educational with just enough sense of humour.

I miss the live meetings as we do not have those here.
You are very lucky that can meet others in those live presentations
and exchange some views.Thank you for sharing. Also thank you for your comment on my "A NOTE" poem.

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

Re- your question about the word "reet."
All my old mates brought up in Wigan say it. But even if it belongs to Yorkshire, seeing as my family name is Ramsden, a true, good old Yorkshire name. I'm claiming it as mine anyway. Love Janet.xx

Actually, i've now remembered you told me you had written it before you came to Wigan.
It was good meeting you and your performance was excellent. Love Janet.xx

'Ello again to thee too!
And you missed your deadline of midnight, so officially, you've broken your own challenge. Sorry, my fault! ( i'm not really.)

This "buffet" looks a bit sickly to me Antonionioni. Anyway, time for bed. goodnight, god bless.xx
