I don't much care for veggies I used to be a kid, you know And, not being forced to eat them Aside from mush in jars I found a sugar desire The sweetest, saddest kind Dissolves on the tongue Left wanting more There was another food today With a smell I knew well It was swell Couldn't get enough It was sweet But not sugary I breathed in again to remember I never finished the spinach It was too green Too alive for me
