There once was a girl whose name was Therese
She couldn’t stomach corn, cucumber, carrots or peas
Beans made her fart
Pumpkins hurt her heart
While she pondered if tomatoes were fruit or veggies

Note: Lachanophobia is the fear of vegetables

14 April 2015 at 10:25 amIs that really a fear or plain dislike for certain veggies? I see almost every other person with this phobia for some veggie or the other.

14 April 2015 at 4:56 pmI’m loving your posts 🙂 Now if I had Lachanophobia I’d have died of starvation because I’m a vegetarian. Wonderful how you frame the limericks around the words 🙂

15 April 2015 at 2:31 amWho cares whether they’re fruits or veggies! They’re food. Pretty food. That’s all that matters!
I feel sorry for Therese. Vegetables look so gorgeous… so many different colors and smells!

21 April 2015 at 6:14 amI used to know someone like that. She ate only potatoes, bread, cheese and anything that was beige or white. She had never eaten peas or carrots or anything with any colour to it. Bizarre and also a little worrying.
