     A is for Asparagus, which grows like a spear.

                It tastes great almost any day of the year. 

 B is for Broccoli, with a flavor so nice,

 I bet it'd go great with a big bowl of rice.

 C is for Carrots, grown deep in the ground,

where sometimes pirate treasures are found.

D is for Daikon, which is grown in Japan.

A visit one day should be part of your plan.

E is for Eggplant, so purple and large,

sometimes they're so big they're brought in on a barge.

F is for   Fava, a bean that I'm feeling... 

I'd rather be eating than to have to be peeling.

G is for Ginger -- so hot and so spicy,

the imported stuff can be a bit pricey.

H is for Horseradish, a root which of course,

is actually neither a radish, nor a horse.

I is for cold, crispy Iceberg Lettuce,

It's crunchy and sweet and would never upset us.

J is for Jicama, which is crispy and cool-ish.

Pronounce the "J" like an "H" or you'll sound a bit foolish.

K is for Kale which has a funny looking shape. 

If you cooked it in butter, it'd taste great in a crépe. 

L is for Leeks, so green and so long.

They taste a bit like onions, but not quite as strong.

M is for Mushroom -- an earthy umbrella.

Don't eat the wrong type! You'll be quite a sick fella.

N is for Napa Cabbage, a veggie so sweet,

you can chop it up fine and stir-fry it with meat.

O is for Okra, a pod that's quite sticky.

It's usually disliked by kids who are picky.

 P is for Peas that will roll off your plate.

Hurry and catch them, before it's too late!
