It's about an ASPARAGUS!! Lol, and it was HIGHLY sarcastic, so it must be read that way

. I'll give it another shot.

Tall and thin, an afro on top
The lessons you teach
Don't add much to a thought
Don't eat with mustard, this would be bad
With velveeta cheese, a good time can be had.
Don't add tomatoes, for you will soon see
that I know what i'm doing with my brothers, three.
We came in a bundle, down isle one
We are perfectly happy, boiled till done
Make a snappy descision, Eat us raw eat us cooked
And if your into junk food, don't give us a look.
We will rule the world, but for now we will plot
oh wait, hold it! NO! Not the water THAT'S HOT!!!!

OK. It reminded me of my ode to butter.

You're going to develop an asparagus dependency.

We all want to matter
We deserve to be loved
The occasional flatter
The emotions kid gloved

Take a left at sincere
Pass proud on the way
Subterfuge, lies and fear
Held at bay for a day

We matter and don't
We love and guess wrong
We do what we won't
Because life's not a song.

I think the new limerick challenge thread is putting this one to death!

Close your eyes,
Make a wish,
Count to three.
Look into my eyes,
What do you see?
Do you see love, passion, happiness or glee?
When I look into your eyes all see,
Is the growing love I have for you
For staying with me.
I love you more now then I ever did before,
My love for you lifts me to ceiling
And away from the floor.

Now open your eyes,
Tell me what you see.
The love you thought was real
Was only a dream.
A dream that will never end,
As long as you believe,
That this love that you wish for,
Will no longer be fantasy.

Until that day comes I will wait,
In our wonderful world of dreams
To which we can escape.
I will wait here,
Waiting for you to sleep.
So that I may show the love that I keep.

Nice one KC8t80!

As long as I've live
and as much as I've seen
I'll always continue
to hang on to a dream

And if I feel it fading away
I go and sit in a quiet place
close my eyes,
breathe in, and pray

Then I can envision
the dream I can not see
because now I am dreaming
of a better life for me.
