I Love a Bean

As I watched my grandson struggle with his veggies, I thought of this poem:

I Love a Bean

by Debra C. Barnes

I love a bean!

pinto

navy

red or green

snap

string

some with spring
(funny bumping jumping bean)


kidney

lima

I'm a fan

of pork and beans right from

the can!


Boston

cocoa

wax and pea

I'm full of beans from a to z!


butter

chili

French and soy

but the beans I most enjoy

as they tumble to my belly . . .

are jelly!

This is delightful. There has been much bean eating in this house as of late!

I should give this funny poem to my kids who also struggle with the eating of beans, vegetables, and other healthy, non-candy items! : )

I think I love all those beans BETTER than Jelly! I eat about a handful of jelly beans a year at Easter - they are not my favorite. The author just missed edamame beans!
