Explore "The Vegetable School" by Hugh Lofting on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Teaching school is not so easy, / Be it big, or be it small, / With a Spring term class made up of / Vegetable scholars all.
Make the turnips turn their toes out. / See the pumpkins punctuate. / Have the parsnips parse correctly. / Let us, Lettuce, start at eight.
Lima Bean's been most provoking. / Send him to the garden bed. / Artful artichoke, I see you / Beating beet upon the head.
Spinach, spin your tops outside, please. / Take two sevenths from a whole. / Carrot, carry one and add, dear. / Cauliflower, call the roll.
