But Jell-O, Pasta, Potatoes, Tacos… All Fair Game

I think when you turn 40

You get a superpower

To make any food into a salad.

But when you’re 45

The option to use vegetables

Besides celery suddenly becomes invalid.

And Potlucks Were Never The Same Again

Once upon a time

In a land of myth and ballad

Someone mixed a lot of plants

And called the result a salad.

Later, in Minnesota

Someone mixed mayonnaise

With literally anything at all

And said “Salad happens in many ways.”

Lettuce Feast

Salads are bad.

We know this because

The dressing industry exists to hide

How bad your salad was.

Reason #4,231,277 I Love Texas

You can make a salad

Out of Jell-o or potatoes,

One with cheese and croutons

Or bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes.

And though you can make a salad

Out of nothing more than fruit, you

Chose to make a kale salad…

I have no choice but to shoot you.
