Pièces de résistance

Lead us not into temptation. Well,
there's nothing tempting about arugula;
it instantly unwhets my appetite.
"Learn to love your vegetables." Yeah, right.

Slurp that spinach, chomp that chard! And if
you want a treat, go out to Plymouth Mall
and gorge on crisp McRutabaga sticks.
Us lachanophobiacs take to veggies

like magnets (north to north and south to south).
Salsify that craving with oyster plant!
Your trusty Veg-o-Matic makes in minutes
a month's supply of succulent succotash!

Serve me mint jelly, roasted leg of lamb
and gravy, and I'll write a dithyramb.
