**Or, Eve’s Misadventures in three delis at lunchtime** : Do you like green peas in rice? I do not like them, they’re not nice. I do not like peas in my rice. I do not like them with Chinese I’d rather eat rice flecked with fleas. Please, no peas in pork-fried rice I’d rather eat out Heidi Fleiss. Give peas a chance in Spanish rice? I say no once, I say no twice! Peas do not belong in rice; I cannot be much more precise. I would not let them in my house. I’d rather give them to the mouse. I do not like them here or there, So, deli owners, best beware! Next time I detect peas in rice, Out of your throat I’ll take a slice. I’ll pick those peas out one by one And load them in a tommygun. I’ll shoot those peas right down your gob— And then I’ll form a Rice Lynch Mob. That’s how much I hate peas in rice— Won’t change my tune for any price. ---

Oh, yes! I like green peas with rice, With eggroll they go very nice. And I will eat them with a friend, and I’ll defend them to the end. With mushrooms, they are quite divine, They send a shiver down my spine. I’ll balance them upon my fork, and serve them up with roast of pork. The bed of rice is oh so light, green peas and rice? It just sounds right! ---

From my throat she’ll take a slice. Should **Eve** find out I have this vice. She’d curse me with a plague of lice. If she knew I liked peas in my rice. :eek: ---

Well look at that, our Eve can rhyme It seems like she could anytime But what is it about the peas, Well peas in rice, that gives unease? I must admit I like the peas, The green, green peas are quite a tease With rice it only adds to please, so please, oh please tell me. Why peas? Would sweetcorn just go down a treat, or would it end up on my feet? Perhaps the smallest hint of ham, Do not get mad, I’m scared, I am I must admit I am impressed, To rhyme like this is quite a stress So now I’ll leave it to the rest To laugh at me and make of jest One hopes you just won’t let it rest, And portray Pwecious Pwincess! ---

You do not like them, so you say. But try them! Try them! And you may! You may like peas served in your rice. No need to give them to the mice. You may like them in Chinese And would never have to gobble fleas. You may like them in Spanish rice, And would never have to gobble Fleiss. Try them, Eve! Try eating peas in rice. And let me try eating, well, maybe not Heidi Fleiss cause she’s a bit skanky in my humble opinioni, but some other nice, attractive woman with a killer body and a sparkking personality (ok, oh, I don’t even care much about the personality, as long as she’s got a hot bod - you know the kind - round, high breasts without any hint of sag, a long, slim torso with good muscle tone, a deep tan, legs that go for miles, and an ass … Oh! Man, we can’t forget the ass. An ass like Jennifer Lopez. And hair, mmmm…beautiful, dark hair that smells sweet and exotic, something that I can nuzzle into and think of Italy, or Greece. And lips…I am all about kissing. And of course, since I’m going to be, well, you know, down _there_ , she needs to take care of some grooming. I’m not asking for a completely bare area or anything, but neatly trimmed and short hair is much preferable to 70s porn star bush. Let’s see…have I left anything out? Oh, yeah…one more thing… She’s got to like peas in her rice. ---

Peas in rice sounds good to me But then, I love the humble pea They’re so tasty, so round, so green They make plain rice into cuisine Peas in rice is such a treat Only improved by adding meat Wok it up, make it pork-fried It makes my hunger pangs subside Now add some sauce! Some B-B-Q! Now stir in some beef moo shoo This smells so good – Oh no! \ I forgot – I’m trying to lose weight. ☹ ---

Oh my! I like green peas with rice. I’ll eat it once. I’ll eat it twice. I’ll eat them in my food Chinese. I’ll eat them in food Japanese. Oh yes they are so very nice. Oh how I like green peas with rice. I will eat other peas with rice. Blackeyed,and crowder taste so nice. They are a very pleasant vice. With cornbread too, to be precise. **Plnnr** wants someone to eat. With peas and rice he must have meat. I too like that, it would be neat. 'Cept a hairy man would be my treat. ---

Peas in rice are good, it seems, For artsie looks and foodie dreams; But adding them is such a waste, For they do nothing for the taste. 🙂 ---

At lunchtime there was cause to grieve Imposed upon intrepid **Eve** She ventured forth from deli to deli In search of rice to fill her belly But in her quest she was frustrated Increasingly more aggravated When deli owners stiffed her pleas To fry her rice without the peas It wasn’t really much to ask Pealess rice, a simple task But still the cooks would not relent And **Eve** grew much more violent **Eve** cried, “I swear, by Pwincess Pwecious I _will_ locate me some delicious Fried rice made without the peas Before I’d eat them, Hell will freeze!” And so, dear friends, take heed this lesson With **Eve** ’s fried rice don’t you be messin’ Just fry it up and don’t presume To foul it with some damned legume ---

I like rice with peas, Almonds and tomatoes. Just don’t add meat The way it goes: I’m a veggie And love that dish. But don’t add meat That is my wish. I don’t want meat To be upon it. And if it is Then I may vomit. ---
