Tomatoes are amazing things, so tasty-good to eat,
they have a secret juice inside that really can’t be beat.
Eating one will make you strong and help you with your grades,
and just for having tasted one, success will come in spades.
They help you solve encrypted notes and make you grow in size,
they out-perform a carrot in perfecting both your eyes.
Some folks say without surprise they help you with your sleep,
a religious man told me once they help your soul to keep.
Once a guy fell from a plane without a chute or line,
he ate a ripe tomato, and they say he turned out fine.
Another person, I just heard, crashed in his turbo coup,
he didn’t have a scratch and credits fresh tomato soup.
So let this be a lesson, for the times you must decide,
and take that firm tomato to your mouth and open wide.

Author’s Note: I wrote this to prove to my son that tomatoes are wonderful. He refuses to eat one, still. It was worth a try. *Your experience with tomatoes may vary.
