Green Bean Casserole

Julie Wimmer
Who eats the Green Bean Casserole at dinner?
It sounds sticky and mushy and incomplete.
Whoever made this a tradition is a sinner.
Instead, spend all your chewing on the meat.

Green Beans are only good when they are fresh.
Casseroles call for that aluminum can,
and they come out all squished and a mess.
Green Bean Casserole is as bad as Spam.

Cream and smushed beans is not appealing.
Buy fresh or spend more time on your yams.
After eating Green Bean Casserole your stomach may be reeling;
so throw the rest away in the closest garbage can.

Make a great turkey and homemade cranberry sauce,
try a salad from the farm market or asparagus spears,
without Green Bean Casserole you won't feel a loss.
Enjoy pies and stuffing and there will be no tears.

Happy Thanksgiving this year,
because without Green Bean Casserole on your table.
praises from friends and family you'll hear.
And you won't be reeling from that Green Bean Casserole
or your belly become unstable!

TRY A SWEET POTATO RECIPE!
Grandma Style! (home made and fresh)

    I can eat it, but only if it's mostly those onion things. I hate when those are only around the edge. Pile those suckers on there! Haha! :)

    Not for me either. I like fresh green beans.

  • Mary Oberg11/15/2011

    I do agree! Not a favorite for me either. Anything with sweet potatoes is so much better!
