Poem: Man Cannot Live By Bread Alone. (Extract from Bone Soup.)
man cannot live by bread alone. (he needs carrots)
.
don’t sneer at a carrot
they’re good and they’re fun
i’ve met quite a few
and i’ve liked every one
.
they have many functions
and take many roles
they’re really quite useful
for stopping up holes
.
should you happen to chance
upon good banks to rob
use a forty four carrot
for your stick-up job
.
if you hate walking dogs ‘cos
they bark and they’re bold
try walking a carrot
they do what they’re told
.
when you’re off on your hols
don’t look awfully white
just soak in a bath
full of carrots all night
.
if you’re asked to a party
and don’t have a mate
just take a big carrot
for your party date
.
shy people all love them
‘cos they quickly find
a huge one is useful
for hiding behind
.
they’re truly all purpose
their uses are many
please don’t be too angry if i forgot any
.
……….this is not to say that i do not like turnips
i mean if you have a really enormous turnip, there are many many amazing and wonderful things that you could do with it…
please make up a long list yourself, write it on a thinly sliced piece of turnip, and then fold it up very small, and eat it
