when life gives you apples  
it's time for the school  
the teacher that grapples  
enforcing their rule

when life gives you cucumbers  
perish the thought  
assign them to new comers  
as if they're bought

when life gives you peppers  
do can them -- they're great!  
that's what all the preppers  
will wish that they ate

when life gives you tomatoes  
but skips the potatoes  
if you give a hoot  
tomato's a fruit!
