I know you love cabbage,
Of course, you do.
I’ve always saved the best,
From the garden for you.
But, there was one day,
You were nasty to me.
Tears filled my eyes,
I was too blind to see.
Before the incident,
That tore me apart,
You shared cabbage recipes,
So dear to your heart.
What hurt me the most,
I’d always been there.
But, I realized the hard way,
You lack the same care.
So, no more for you,
Soup with savory seasoning.
No more zesty coleslaw,
So, crunchy and pleasing.
You’ll have to do without,
I’m done with you.
Guess what, this season?
“NO CABBAGE FOR YOU!”
But, I know I’ll forgive.
I’ve a very big heart.
It’s not in me to keep,
You and cabbage apart.
I’ll offer you this,
Show you kindness, instead.
This cabbage from the garden,
With the biggest of heads.
I think this reflects,
You so well, in reality.
It mirrors so perfect,
Your bombastic personality.
As you look at its surface,
A few rough spots outside.
But, as you pull back the leaves,
You’ll still find a heart inside.
