Tomato, tomato, so round and so red
I wish that you were as big as my head.
I eat you with tuna, with crackers, on bread
for breakfast or dinner, for lunch without dread.
So tasty, so wholesome, so summer is here!
I snub the cucumber and to you I do veer
Your seeds and your jelly, I never will fear
Your skin is a promise I do hold so dear
Tomato, tomato, my taste buds you wed
I'll love you, my beauty, until I am dead.

Consuming his relative

Confessing her puree love of

Mood I love that poem! It sums it up for me perfectly - I have a tomato fetish! I eat one every single day and if they are cherry ones about 10 a day!! I get withdrawal symptoms if I run out
Oh hail the mighty tomato
For me you must be firm
Should you be soft and pappy
You'd really make me squirm
I love you draped on anything
I love you in your skin
I love you in your fresh state
And I love you in a tin
I couldn't live without you
To me you are the best
Give me the mighty tomato
And you can keep the rest

COME ON YOU SPURS!!

Tomato You Say?
There once was a tomato so ripe
Served hot on the side with some tripe
Its appeal wasn't much
(Shades of vomit and such):
Still... a pabulum-inspiring type!
