Vegetables/Vegetarian Poem by gnrao rao

Stick, stick, stick,
Drumstick,
But you cannot play the
drums with this stick.
Toes we have ten,
Toes, toes, toes,
They are tomatoes,
They are potatoes.
Ages, ages, ages,
We take cabbages.
rots, rots, rots,
Carrots, carrot, carrots.
Ants, ants, ants,
Eggplants.
Be, be, be
Beans.
Fingers, fingers, fingers,
Lady's fingers.
You cannot put the ring
On these fingers.
Ginger, ginger, ginger,
Coriander, coriander, coriander,
lemon, lemon, lemon
is it a fruit?
Or is it a vegetable?
Garlic, garlic, garlic,
You get the smell.
Onion is its sister,
She too has a pungent smell.
All these are there,
In every house,
Of a vegetarian,
Unripe bananas
are made into chips,
Especially the special
NENDRANGAIS from Kerala.
Unripe bananas are also
made into curry,
Curry in one form or another
Is a good accompaniment
For vegetarian
Lunch or dinner.
Small onion Sambar
Is a good company
with the Idlis.
