This is one of my favorite poems to share with my class on Valentine's Day. It's wonderful to see the kids' eyes get big, as smiles spread across their faces and they say, "Oh! I get it!" Cantaloupe always needs a little extra explanation.
Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you.
With you turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry.
Weed make a swell pear.
