Lettuce Pray

Lettuce is absolutely disgusting,
It is such a horrid looking thing,
Green floppy leaves everywhere,
You make me so angry it’s unfair,
Every time I look at you I feel sick,
I want to get rid of you real quick,
Cos, iceberg or red leaf lettuce,
I don’t even want to use them in a sentence,
When I see lettuce in a salad,
I consider it invalid,
I want to get rid of your complete existence,
I wish to throw you a far distance,
Why are you even a vegetable?
You are not even slightly edible,
I don’t ever want to see you again,
I pray to God, Amen.
