Ode to a Tomato







Oh, tomato, how we love you so.
We plant and water you to make you grow.


Full of vitamins A, C,
And lycopene--how healthy we will be.

Count the ways we consume you:
Spaghetti sauce, salsa, ketchup, and soups.

Whether sliced, tossed, diced, and even fried,
We praise you for your juicy, fleshy side.

One thing I did not know
Is that YouTube celebrates you so.

I heard the Tomato song that was fun,
But then you are a scrub to protect us from the sun.

Cherry or beefsteak grade,
We love you, great tomato, whom God hath made.
