Food Confusion
Tomatoes aren’t vegetables,
Tomatoes are a fruit!
The same as eggplants, bell peppers,
And cucumbers to boot!
And peanuts aren’t really nuts,
They’re much more like a bean.
Sometimes I wish those farmers
Would just say the things they mean!
Tomatoes are a fruit!
The same as eggplants, bell peppers,
And cucumbers to boot!
And peanuts aren’t really nuts,
They’re much more like a bean.
Sometimes I wish those farmers
Would just say the things they mean!

Erin spent 10 years as a scientist, running experiments and analyzing data in laboratories. Scientific writing can be very technical, but she always loved writing poetry for school publications, friends, and family. Now she is a full-time mom and first-time children’s writer. She hopes to approach these new roles in the same way a scientist would: by being curious and observant.
