Vegetable Drawer Blues - #Inktober day 11

Vegetable Drawer Blues


The avocado of ecstasy met the aubergine of doom, 
And as blueberries of bother looked on,
They began to play a tune. 

The avocado sang in a major key, 
The aubergine drummed with gloom,
The crisp cucumber cackled with glee,
He was bananas for the blues.

A limp lettuce deigned to listen,
As the vegetables formed their band,
And gyrating grapes would glisten, 
As they played across the land. 

None of this was meant to be, 
And we’d never have heard this tune, 
But for the avocado of ecstasy, 
And the aubergine of doom. 

My #Inktober day 11 poem, based on another silly prompt from Richard Carr. If you like it, please let me know and feel free to share!
