I like to tout
That I am Chia Sprout

I am Chia Sprout
Who likes to tout!

Chia Sprout
I have no doubt
Has come to tout!

Do you like
red beets and yam

I do not like them,
Chia Sprout.
I do not like
red beets and yam.

I only eat meat
They are neat

Would you like them
Steamed or stewed?
How would you like them brewed?

I would not like them
Steamed or stewed.
Or any way they’re brewed

I eat bacon
With bacon, nothin’s lackin’

Would you eat them
with the cows?
Would you eat them
with the sows?

I would not eat them
with the cows
I could not eat them
with the sows
I do not like them
steamed or stewed.
Or any way they’re brewed.
I do not like them
I do not like red beets and yam.
I do not like them, Chia Sprout.

I eat steak and hamburger
The beefier, the better

Would you eat them
with the cocks?
Would you eat them
with a fox?

Not with the cocks
Not with a fox.
Not with the cows
Not with the sows.
I would not eat them steamed or stewed
Or any way they’re brewed
I would not eat red beets and yam.
Chia Sprout, I do not like red beets and yam!

I eat chicken, baked or fried
Or even when they’re pot-pied

Would you? Could you?
with a goat?
Eat them! Eat them!
up a moat?

I would not,
could not,
with a goat
Up a moat!

I eat lamb
And also ham

You may like them.
You will see.
You may like them
with a pea?

I would not, could not with a pea
Not with a goat, up a moat!
Chia Sprout, You let me be.

I eat lobster and shrimp
Lots of them, no need to scrimp

Not with the cocks
Not with a fox.
Not with the cows
Not with the sows.
I would not eat them steamed or stewed
Or any way they’re brewed
I would not eat red beets and yam.
Chia Sprout, I do not like red beets and yam!

A horse! A horse!
Could you, would you
with a horse?

I would not, could not
With a horse

I eat tuna salad
Tilapia and cod.

Say!
With the sheep
Eat them with the sheep
Who bleat!

I would not, could not,
with the sheep
Even those who bleat

I eat them
I wear them
I use them
Use them
That’s all I need of them

You do not like
red beets and yam?

I do not
like them,
Chia Sprout.

You do not like them.
SO you say.
Try them! Try them!
And you may.
Try them and you may I say.

Chia Sprout
If you will let me be,
I will try them.
You will see.

Say!
I like red beets and yam!
Chia Sprout, I do!! I like them!

I would eat them
with the cows
I would eat them
with the sows
I like them
steamed or stewed.
Or any way they’re brewed.
I do like them
I do like red beets and yam.
I do like them, Chia Sprout.

I would eat them with the cocks
I would eat them with a fox.
I would eat them with the cows
and with the sows.
I would eat them with a goat
I would eat them! Eat them!
A goat up a moat!

I would eat them
with a pea.
Thanks for not letting me be!

I would, I could
With a horse
And with the sheep
Even those who bleat

I would not, could not eat meat
They are not neat
I could not eat bacon
Steak and hamburger
They are my friends
The more, the merrier

I would not eat chicken, baked or fried
Or even when they’re pot-pied
I would not, could not eat lamb
And most definitely not ham

I cannot eat tuna salad
Tilapia nor cod.
I cannot eat lobster and shrimp
The ocean needs them or it will go limp

Thank you! Thank You!
Chia Sprout
I do love red beets and yam!
