Vegetable Planets
A solar system far away
My ship’s approaching Planet 1
A cucumber of vast extent
Green mountain summit, let’s climb on!
Then on to visit Planet 2
Tomato lush with giant pips
Inside our submarine we’ll do
delicious subterranean trips
The biggest one is Planet 3
A pumpkin, slice it with your knife
But don’t get trapped by gravity
or you’ll eat pumpkin pie for life
A giant onion’s Planet 4
Stacked up 2000 layers high
Inside there’s juice enough to make
a galaxy of people cry
Potato is the Planet 5
Benign you think, but here’s the rub
Let’s hope it's fresh enough or else
our ship might end inside a grub
