Two Peas In A Pod
“Kind of stuffy in here isn’t it?
Kind of hard to breathe as well.
Wake up and smell the fresh air!”
“What fresh air?
It’s hotter in here than hell.”
“Listen, listen, I hear rain
But we’re on the inside and won’t get wet.”
“So are water melon seeds
And they get very wet, I’ll bet.”
“What? are you green with envy
Over some small black melon seed?”
“No, I am green because we are
Two peas in a pod, you and me.”
“Did you know that it is dark in here
And I can’t even see your face.”
“That’s because we are
Two peas in a pod
And just happen to share the same space.?
“Would you rather be something else
Rather than a little growing green pea?”
Being a pea is all I know my twin
So why do you ask that of me?
“I sure hope we get picked real soon
Cause this pod is growing fast.
And I can’t wait to see the sun
And watching birds dance on the grass.”
“You are really a dumb pea.
We will be processed and sealed in a can
As soon as we are ripe and sweet
And then, end up in the bottom of a pan.”
“How do you know all of this
You have never been pod less.
You have right her beside me
In this garden of vegetable bliss.”
“Doesn’t matter little pea
I’ve heard things other peas have said
Like getting being mixed with ham or beans
And being boiled until we are good and dead.”
“We can’t get dead dummy
We are of a lifeless form
We are just two peas in a pod
Who mean no one any harm.
We were planted in this garden
To grow and get bigger and finally sprout
But never in my wildest dreams
Did I think that this would come about.”
“Please don’t cry little green pea
It’s really isn’t all that odd.”
“Yes, but never in my wildest dreams
did I think I’d be stuck with you
as two peas in a pod.”
