GRAND Magazine - November/December 2008 - (Page 68) read aloud Mashed Potatoes on the Ceiling Mashed potatoes on the ceiling. Green beans on the floor. Stewed tomatoes in the corner. Squash upon the door. Pickled peppers in my pocket. Spinach up my sleeves. Mushrooms in my underpants with leeks and lettuce leaves. Okra, onions, artichokes, asparagus and beets; buried neatly underneath the cushions of our seats. All the rest I’ve hidden in my socks and down my shirt. I’m done with all my vegetables. I’m ready for dessert! ©2006 by Kenn Nesbitt. Reprinted from The Aliens Have Landed at Our School! with the permission of Meadowbrook Press 68 GRAND NOVEMBER DECEMBER 2008
