Carrot,
cabbage, and potato,
Spinach, radish and tomato,
All live in freedom,
In the vegetable kingdom.
Black
brinjal is their King,
Who always sits on a swing.
Brainy Chilli – the chief minister
Capsicum is his sister.
Ladyfinger – an attendant,
To the Queen who wears a pendent
Cauliflower, beetroot and pumpkin,
Protect the vegetables’ kith and kin.
Together
they all stay,
Happy and gay.
Lives of human kind
Depends on vegetables of all kind.
Body’s vitamins and mineral needs,
Are met from vegetables’ flesh and seeds.
