PURPLE PARSNIPS
Mike Berger, PhD
The bag of parsnips should have been
white not purple.
Even my wily old parrot was taken
back; He squawked, “Ugly.”
Had they been in the store too long?
The grocery boy held his nose as
he stuffed them in the bag.
Stinky feet comes to mind.
Now it takes a big man to admit a
mistake.
I should have bought the chartreuse
turnips or the magenta rutabagas
instead.
