Turnips And Parsnips

by Charles E Minshall

Turnips and parsnips
Rutabagas and Squash,
Some of the foods I think
Truly are bosh.

I'd rather have
Some Danish or cake,
They're made of grains
Why them forsake?

Author's Note: They're a lot better than turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, and squash by gosh.
