Carrot Crisis
(one, two, three, go!)
On my plate, a quiet threat is waiting
Bright orange, staring back at me
They say it's good for my eyes,
but I am debating
Why must this root exist in my tea?
I tried to hide it under the rice
I tried to pretend it was sweet spice But the crunch reveals
the truth!
No more carrots, take them away!
(no way!) They ruin my dinner,
they ruin my day!
(day!) Sweet and bitter,
a taste I despise
Keep that orange out of my eyes!
Boiled, mashed, or cut in a slice
Even cake cannot make it nice
My chopsticks refuse to comply
Don't ask me to give it a try (no,
no, no!)
No more carrots, take them away!
(no way!) They ruin my dinner,
they ruin my day!
(day!) Sweet and bitter,
a taste I despise
Keep that orange out of my eyes!
I said no
carrots!
(absolutely none!)
