The Turnip

Grandpa planted a turnip one day in his plot, And came every morning to check what he'd got. The turnip grew big, and so crunchy, and sweet— With a slice of bread, what a wonderful treat! So poor old Grandpa takes hold of the top, He pulls and he pulls—but it's stuck! It won't pop!

Grandpa called Grandma: "Come help me! Come quick! I'll grab the turnip, and you grab me—that's the trick!" Poor Grandpa and Grandma, they pull and they strain, They tug and they tug—but they tug in vain! Grandma grabs Grandpa, Grandpa grabs the turnip's top, Oh, one more helper, please—chop-chop!…
