Yummy Salad

The most obscene salad on record, I'd say

The leafy lettuce-
it feels wet against my skin,
laying on its bed.

Fuzzy, tomatoes-
red, round, curiously firm,
juicy and seedy.

Long orange carrots-
the root really makes its point,
standing out for me.

Now for the dressing
on top of these crisp veggies,
creamy, smooth, and white.

Making a salad
is no sport for young children.
Allow us adults.
