Tomato: My Occasional Poem

He did it, the unthinkable
completely outside the box of imaginable
it was a suicidal action, for sure
or so they thought
but without him we wouldn't know differently

Pioneers come in a lot of packages
but for a powerful package,
his action was awfully small

But he did it first
on the courthouse steps
and that means a lot
because without Colonel Johnson
I would have never
ever
eaten a tomato
