Meet the Veggies
	Tomato: I'm round and red And juicy too. Chop me for a salad, Or dump me in your stew!
	Lettuce: Hey, wait a minute! If a salad you're fixin' I can stand alone. No need for the mixin'!
	Onion: Chop me and slice me But keep water near. I sometimes get juicy And can bring on a tear!
	Carrot: Orange is my color; I stand long and lean. In the garden you'll see Just my bright leaves of green.
	Pea: I live in a pod With so many others. I think I was born With one hundred brothers!
	Green Bean: Look in the garden; You'll see my sign. Then bring out your basket When it's pickin' time!
	Potato: I've an eye for perfection To give you the best. Baked, mashed or fried- I'll pass the test!
	Cabbage: My head is quite thick So people tell me. I guess that's the reason Grocery stores sell me!
	Celery: Cut and rinse my stalks, Then spread on cream cheese. A refreshing hors d'oeuvre To make parties a breeze!
	Squash: Some call me a game, A game of good sport, But I'm really to eat As a side dish of sorts!
	Brussel Sprout: I'm kinda cute When I'm served on a plate I'm just a little mouthful. You can eat six or eight!
	Cauliflower: I carry white flowers To break off and eat. I'm sometimes served raw, A nutritious snack treat!
	Broccoli: My friends call me trees Now that's a funny name. Though I am a dark green With stalks just the same.
