They’re so PREtty
CORporate toMAtoes
They’re not JUicy
just PREtty and MOIST.
THERE’s no FLAvor
but they’re FIRM (pause)
and they SHIP (pause) so WELL.

You won’t TASTE them so
THEY won’t Cover the
FLAvors of THE other FOODS.
No SWEET, no TARTness
and no JUices dripping
DOWN your CHIN.

SEE the pretty toMAtoes
ON the SHELF.
See how aITRACtive they ARE.
SEE the pretty RED.
See the pretty SHAPE.
Feel its firm FORM.
Such a pretty FRUIT.

Corporate toMAtoes.
Who needs FLAvor?
Who needs JUiciness –
THAT’S just a MESS.
I Say good BYE to the
FRUITS that WE used to LOVE.
