Ode to a Piece of Lettuce
You're splendid and oh so green.
I love the way you look.
I could shred you in my hands
Or I could flatten you with my book.
But when I place you with my hamburger,
Between two awesome buns,
I know that you're about to depart,
And that your existence is surely done.

But when I place you with my hamburger,
Between two awesome buns,
I know that you're about to depart,
And that your existence is surely done.
