So, Why The Green Grocer?

By GC

A rutabaga isn’t green

neither is a turnip
a carrot is bright orange
a potato brown or red

The tomato is often ruby red

or sometimes that tomato is yellow
as is the tearful onion
and then there’s leeks and shallots

All of this leaves me confused

mostly a muddle in my head
but the green grocer I guess
at least can sell us collards

 

oops!
