The Puzzle 20

THE COMPETITION

Like a car by steering wheel,

Europe is ruled by – for real! -

its capital with great muscle. 

It means by the city - Brussels.


New idea spread last week.

The veggy one! – so to speak.

The EU wrote facebook’s post:

„We are looking for the most

european vegetable

that will be the union label.

Vegetables! Apply please!

Each of you! From Spain to Greece!

All from here and from afar!

Brussels needs you for the mark!” 


Thousand letters were sent soon.

Vegan competitors boom!

Well, the post was from tomatoes

turnips, carrots and potatoes

cauliflowers, pumpkins, leeks

and the others. Vital mix.

Each of them was sure to win.

One of thousand, there has been

little letter that was sent

with this charming, sweet content:

"Dear authorities in Brussels,

forgive me for pushy hassle,

Hear me out, please. It’s my plea:

Let this title fall to me.

I dream about famous role

although I am very small

though I have a cabbage head

but my name is really great.

And it makes me very proud

‘cause my name is ... Brussels sprout. "
