Why Carrots Want to Be Marshmallows
They’ve had enough of underground.
They’ve had enough of crunch.
They’ve had enough of being sticks
that mom packs in your lunch.
They’re ready to be fluff and puff.
They’re ready to be squish.
They’re ready to melt over fire.
C’mon, they’ll be delish!
They’ve had enough of crunch.
They’ve had enough of being sticks
that mom packs in your lunch.
They’re ready to be fluff and puff.
They’re ready to be squish.
They’re ready to melt over fire.
C’mon, they’ll be delish!
