A Belated Valentine

A FOOD VALENTINE

Cabbage always has a heart, green beans string along.
You're such a Tomato, will you Peas to me belong?

You've been the Apple of my eye, you know how much I care;
So Lettuce get together, we'd make a perfect Pear.

Now, something's sure to Turnip, to prove you can't be Beet;
So, if you Carrot all for me, let's let our tulips meet.

Don't Squash my hopes and dreams now, bee my Honey, dear;
Or tears will fill Potato's eyes, while Sweet Corn lends an ear.

I'll Cauliflower shop and say, our dreams are Parsley mine.
I'll work and share my Celery, so be my VALENTINE.
