Off to Market
We Go
Words by Melissa Howes-Vitek
“There ain’t nothin’ in the world that I like better
Than bacon ‘n lettuce ‘n home grown tomatoes
Up in the mornin’, out in the garden
Get you a ripe one, don’t pick a hard ‘un
Plant ‘em in the spring, eat ‘em in the summer
All winter without ‘em is a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin’ and the diggin’
Every time I go out and pick me a big ‘un
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without home grown tomatoes?
Only two things that money can’t buy
That’s true love and home grown tomatoes...”
