Teaching school is not so easy,
Be it big, or be it small,
With a Spring term class made up of
Vegetable scholars all.
Make the turnips turn their toes out.
See the pumpkins punctuate.
Have the parsnips parse correctly.
Let us, Lettuce, start at eight.
Lima Bean’s been most provoking.
Send him to the garden bed.
Artful artichoke, I see you
Beating beet upon the head.
Spinach, spin your tops outside, please.
Take two sevenths from a whole.
Carrot, carry one and add, dear.
Cauliflower, call the roll.
