"Lettuce is yucky, let's feed it to rabbits together"
"I dropped my liver, watch Woofy's tail wag"
Then I motioned toward the Cocoa Puffs, and eyed a piece of pie
And balked "I won't eat my asparagus"

"Sweetie," said Mom as she loaded my plate down with veggies
"This'll make you grow up real big and strong"
It took a tantrum to get her to realize
I will not eat my asparagus

Smashing brussels sprouts
Playing games with the broccoli
She said the greens were enriched with a whole bunch of iron
I said, "Oh really? So where did they come from? A blacksmith?"

"Toss me a pixie stick, I've had my fun with the meatloaf"
"You sucked the last one instead of your juice"
So I flicked some more greenery, onto the microwave
And the cats fought over my ruined meal

"Mommy, I'm starved," I said, wanting what she was eating
My tummy is aching and not for some pie
Munching the food that is suddenly yummy
It's all gone, I ate my asparagus
All gone, I ate my asparagus
All gone, I ate my asparagus
