The rhythm of the rutabaga
and the carrots in choir
had no desire for
the cacophony of cauliflower
in the seventh hour
when the church tower
rung its bell
loud enough
to be heard in Hell
Radish and string bean
were upon the scene
Squash and zucchini
rise up from the hole
Pastor Potatohead
said GRACE
then
"Let's pass the bowl"

my conference period, otherwise known as
a ninety-minute "lunch period"
