I'll Eat Almost Anything That's Food

I love to eat, almost anything goes,

Mushrooms and beets,

Peppers and sweets,

I'll even eat almost all kinds of meats,

But the one food that makes me turn up my nose,

Are horribly, horribly, icky mangoes!

***

Stringy and strange, impossible to peel,

I can't even tell you how sick I now feel,

If I wanted to have a taste of perfume,

I could go drink a bottle,

The thought makes me fume.

********

Give me an orange, an apple, or some peas,

Carrots, turnips, even some greens

Bacon or eggs, how 'bout some beans?

Heck, I'll even eat a can of sardines!

But please, if you want to set me at ease,

For the love of god, no mangoes, please!

This was a fun little poem in a sort of Dr. Seuss style for Paul and Donna's Icky Food Challenge.
