BEAN ME UP^ SCOTTY!

Poem by Charles Frederickson
Graphic by Saknarin Chinayote 




Human beans emerging from seedpods
Lentil rentals uprooted humanure soil
Colorful multiversity uniquely different flavors
Green Creole bayou Cannellini white

Boston Baked sturdy ceramic pot
South American Andes Lima natives
Japanese adzuki Tex-Mex frijole pintos
Thigh legumes muscle sprouts workouts

Brazilian feijado Goomba Garbanzo chickpeas
Spanish spinach guisante French pois
Yellow wax red kidney succotash
Black-eyed cowpeas symbolizing Good Luck

Lebanese hummus disguised as legumes
Coffee beans actually berry seeds
Soybeans miso tofu protein powerhouse
Source of potassium iron magnesium

My fave veggie is salsa
Delicioso feuds always fattening fitness
Retired has-bean angry grump-peas
Clearing old farts’ gassy air

What the health bean appetite
Whirled peas visualized from afar
Avant-garden auld nutrition recycled
Unzipped shucked shells soupy split
