These little chaps grow on a stalk,

What would they say if able to talk?

"We're packed full of iron and Vitamin C,

But many don't like to cook us for tea.

Dress us in butter and fresh lemon zest,

Then you'll agree we're simply the best!

Who can identify this little guy?

He's knobbly and bobbly, a strange-looking kai!

Bake him or boil him or mash him with spice,

Or roast him with meat and serve him with rice.

He's lumpy and bumpy and orangey-pink,

He looks like a thumb - what do you think?

This chunky dude's from a sturdy root crop,

Cream on the bottom and purple on top.

Grown in the winter, he doesn't like heat,

Mash him with cream for a scrumptious treat.

Bake him, roast him, turn him into chips,

Dip them into sauce and lick it off your lips!
