BEANS, BEANS, BEANS (Monday Poem)

by Lucia and James L. Hymes, Jr. 

 

 

Baked beans, 

Butter beans, 

Big fat lima beans, 

Long thin string beans. 

Those are just a few. 

 

Green beans, 

Black beans, 

Big fat kidney beans, 

Red hot chili beans, 

Jumping beans too. 

 

Pea beans, 

Pinto beans, 

Don't forget shelly beans. 

Last of all, 

best of all, 

I like jelly beans!
