FOOD for thought

Carrots

Fresh or boiled it doesn't matter,
They still make me gag,
The only acceptable way to consume them,
Is masked in a cake,
Or a glass of V8.

Carrots are dirty, bulbous roots,
Rabbit food, 
I've never liked them never will,
No wonder my eyesight is so awful. 

I pick them out of my Chinese food,
and leave them on the side of the plate. 
Even a nibble is enough to send the putrid taste across my tongue. 
So I carefully remove any slivers left over. 

Please believe me when I say I'm not a picky eater,
Every once in a while I give carrots another try,
In hopes that my tongue will have changed its mind,
but no avail.
