Rutabaga Sonnet
Oh, noble rutabaga, bulbous root
that ever shuns a sonnet's iamb song,
in tougher times you kept the Germans strong
enough to panzer-roll the French. Salute.
Efficient? Even Mickey's can't dispute
your clear superiority, they throng
potato drills like sheep but it is wrong
to farm the meat when they can't stew the shoot.
But have you ever seen a sundae glass?
And when your skin is clean do they still wash it?
Some may mistake you for your brother - beet -
at first you look the same but borsht has sass
the rabbis crave, they shred it up and gnosh it.
Is tasteless mash in Gerber jars a treat?
( I /really/ have no excuse, this isn't even funny!!)
