Poem of the month: A poem about lettuce
May’s poem is by Edward Lear.
On the first of every month, I send a poem to a random, and ever-expanding, group of past and present colleagues. I’ve been doing it for about 16 years.
This month’s is by Edward Lear, from Chapter IX of The History of the Seven Families of the Lake Pipple-popple.
I love this poem.
Lettuce! O Lettuce!
Let us, O let us,
‘O Lettuce leaves,
‘O let us leave this tree and eat
Lettuce, O let us, Lettuce leaves!
