Whip Out a Gourd

whether its a special occasion
or if i'm just bored
i'll reach in the pantry
and whip out a gourd

its so much more fun
than getting some wedgies
i like to play games
with my fruits and veggies

pears and oranges
and apples! oh my!
if i drop one and smoosh it
i'll just bake a pie

i like to toss them
and roll them around
and shake up the insides
to hear the fun sounds

i lick them and stick them
in the craziest places
i use my sisters' makeup
to draw on them faces

when i'm making decisions
they help with the choices
i listen to the advice from
their vegetable voices

they tell me to do things
good things i hope
but you cant always take advice from
a rotting cantaloupe

eventually i eat them
its best in the end
i chew and salute you
my vegetable friend!
