STEMS CLOGGING MY WAY!

LINE COUNT: 8

New Prompt: Did you know that Rapunzel was thrown into a bad situation due to a vegetable her mother wanted? And poor, Jack found himself in an awkward situation
due to vegetable seeds. I wonder what other characters fell into trouble because of a vegetable? Today I challenge you to write a story or poem that includes a problem-causing vegetable. Remember, your character must find himself/herself in some kind of jeopardy due to that vegetable!

STEMS CLOGGING MY WAY!!!

I like to fix a lot of foods;
I just can't get enough
of vegetables, so good and fresh
with stems and pith, so rough!
So, when I cook good food, I try
to dig out all the tough
stems clogging my exquisite fare,
and water down the stuff!
