Time to Eat Your Vegetables Writers’ Cramp

30 lines

Some days
One needs to remember
A simple thing,

Sometimes
It is just time
To eat your vegetables.

To be vegetarian
Or vegan
For a day
Or a week.

To cleanse your system
And help save the planet
For the benefit of us all.

And some days
It is time
To just eat.

A delicious desert
Like apple strudel
A perfect way
To end the day.

Doing both in one week
Will help restore
Balance to your life
And to the world.

Eat your damn vegetables
And have some apple strudel
For desert.



NEW PROMPT: Tomorrow, June 17, is both National Apple Strudel Day and National Eat Your Vegetable Day. Write a story or poem that resolves the inherent contradiction between these two observances.
