Twenty Bucks
When I asked dad for twenty bucks,
I found him sitting on the couch
before I went to bed.
I looked into his tired eyes
and this is what I said:
The carrots tasted great!
I ate the piece of celery
that mom put on my plate.
The eggplant was delicious
and the string beans were divine.
The peppers were fantastic
and the broccoli was fine.
The giant baked potato
was the highlight of my night.
The juicy red tomato
My dad said he was proud of me
and handed me the cash.
I hope he doesn’t find out
all this food is in the trash!
