Red Beets in Stew
I’ll put in carrots, peas, onions, tomatoes,
corn, cauliflower, green beans, and potatoes.
I’ll even throw in a brussels sprout or two,
but I’ll never again put red beets in stew!
Food should taste yummy and appeal to the eyes.
But one day I cooked a visual surprise.
Everything turned purplish-pink through and through.
So I’ll never again put red beets in stew!
That night my guest saw in his toilet was red.
He went to the hospital thinking he bled.
So to this promise, I’ll stubbornly stay true.
No, I’ll never again put red beets in stew!
