Apples, Corn, Tomatoes and Soy — A Poem
These are a few of my least favorite foods.

I’m taking a moment to follow on from a prompt by Will Hull — himself prompted by Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) — on the matter of poems about less desirable foods.
Here are their entries from The Brain is a Noodle publication if you prefer to inspect the chain of literary custody yourself.
I don’t like tomatoes, but I’ll eat them in a red sauce,
so long as the taste is covered by many spices and the lot.
Their taste alone is just off-putting
and the texture itself a bit unnerving.
No thanks to tomatoes. I’d prefer it if they were tossed.
