Asparagus

By Eric Vallen

Grouped on your plate like a chorus

Eat too much and it might be dangerous

Possibly treacherous

Spewed across the table like a canvas

For it has no forgiveness

For the atrocious

For those who cannot perceive the venomous

If uncooked, it is disastrous

Might lead you to unconsciousness

Make you a little cadaverous

So be cautious

And don’t eat Asparagus
