It occurred to Caitlin

That if she were a vegetable, she’d be

Tofu, not

Tasteless, mushy

Tofu, or your

Watery, bland

Gushy, tofu

But, firm and

Protein filled, yet

Still malleable tofu,

Mixing with all the veggies

Even some fruits

A good pair for anything

But needs a little something,

To be worth while

Slice her, dice her

Puree her, mash her

In a pot, in a pan

In the oven, in a blender

Marinate or season,

Wherever your mind can wonder, she can

Change and mold

To whatever you like

Take the taste of whatever food

You may prefer,

But don’t forget that the true tofu is still there,

You can

Drown her in soy sauce

To get rid of the taste,

But you never really tried her,

So go easy on the soy sauce

And give her a chance, oh no,

It’s to late.

You’ve thrown her in the pan with some oil

And a couple of veggie friends

She takes the flavor of all her surroundings, and

You never got to try her when she was her true self

But she accepts that you won’t give her a chance

And agrees to loose her identity.

Which, as things were, wasn’t so easy.
