A Tragic Bean Story

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2011 with permission of the Author.

You told me not to fart, mom,
so I didn't eat the beans.
You told me it would smell, mom,
So I knew it would be mean.
Everyone ate the brown beans, mom,
But I ate mashed potatoes instead.
A person who ate the brown beans farted, mom
and it smelt really bad.
People pointed fingers at me, mom,
and my face turned really red.
I told them it wasn't me, mom,
but they didn't believe what I said.
My friends don't like me anymore, mom.
They say I'm a liar.
As for the brown beans, mom
I will never be a buyer!
