With a tender heart | B |
Dressed up like a warrior | C |
Standing at attention it built | D |
A small helmet | E |
Under its scales | F |
It remained | G |
Unshakeable | H |
By its side | I |
The crazy vegetables | J |
Uncurled | I |
Their tendrills and leaf crowns | K |
Throbbing bulbs | L |
In the sub soil | M |
The carrot | I |
With its red mustaches | N |
Was sleeping | O |
The grapevine | P |
Hung out to dry its branches | Q |
Through which the wine will rise | R |
The cabbage | S |
Dedicated itself | T |
To trying on skirts | U |
The oregano | V |
To perfuming the world | I |
And the sweet | I |
Artichoke | A |
There in the garden | W |
Dressed like a warrior | C |
Burnished | I |
Like a proud | I |
Pomegrante | I |
And one day | I |
Side by side | I |
In big wicker baskets | X |
Walking through the market | I |
To realize their dream | Y |
The artichoke army | Z |
In formation | W |
Never was it so military | Z |
Like on parade | I |
The men | A2 |
In their white shirts | U |
Among the vegetables | J |
Were | C |
The Marshals | J |
Of the artichokes | B2 |
Lines in close order | C |
Command voices | Q |
And the bang | C2 |
Of a falling box | D2 |
- | |
But | I |
Then | A2 |
Maria | E2 |
Comes | F2 |
With her basket | I |
She chooses | Q |
An artichoke | A |
She's not afraid of it | I |
She examines it she observes it | I |
Up against the light like it was an egg | G2 |
She buys it | I |
She mixes it up | H2 |
In her handbag | I2 |
With a pair of shoes | J2 |
With a cabbage head and a | E2 |
Bottle | H |
Of vinegar | C |
Until | K2 |
She enters the kitchen | W |
And submerges it in a pot | I |
- | |
Thus ends | L2 |
In peace | M2 |
This career | N2 |
Of the armed vegetable | H |
Which is called an artichoke | A |
Then | A2 |
Scale by scale | O2 |
We strip off | P2 |
The delicacy | Z |
And eat | I |
The peaceful mush | Q2 |
Of its green heart | I |
