I said
"abragado"
that means
thank you,
I was always taught to use manners.
some act like
they never head
the word
before,
where were they born?
I hear
canibals
like to
eat me,
I want to know where to buy a can of bulls.
Some say
they boil me
til tender,
why should I say thank you for that?
there is
too much
prejudice
against green,
Green is as fine a color as red.
some say
we are
stupid
vegetables,
Like they need a brain to think that.

Thank you
Sometimes It's best to be like Will Rodgers

Thanks a heapin' heapin' with butter on top

I do not eat them, for I do not have a taste for them, though I will eat my greens, but not the Artichoke.
