The Misunderstood Bean
We’ve chosen these beans for their extra appeal
With choices aplenty we plan our next meal
We boil them, we bake them and braised they’re good too
We serve them with rice in soup or a stew
Our bodies will tell us we’ve made the right choices
For heirloom beans offer less afterward noises
But make sure to check that the beans you will buy
Have been raised well and cared for by “chip” the bean guy
In closing we thank you with a short little song
So you can let other know they have been wrong
That beans are not food for the poor and downtrodden
But a healthy, and yummy food all but forgotten
The song:
Heirloom beans, the marvelous fruit
Eat the right ones and you’ll seldom toot
So sweet and so tender these beans they will be
I love heirloom beans and my beans love me
