Oh, yeah, Ogden Nash!
Candy is Dandy.
But liquor is quicker.
Not exactly clean, though, is it?
I've never seen a purple cow
I hope to never see one.
But I can tell you here and now,
I'd rather see than be one.
Anna's Garden Songs has a lot of wonderful, amusing poems about veggies. It's worth checking out, but I think it's out of print.

My favorite is Shel's 'The Bagpipe Didn't Say No'.

In mortal combat I am joined
With monstrous words wherever coined.
'BEEFBURGER' is a term worth hating,
Both fraudulent and infuriating,
Contrived to foster the belief
That only BEEFBURGERS are made of beef,
Implying with shoddy flim and flam
That hamburgers are made of ham.
by the great poet Ogden Nash

Sparkle, sparkle, little twink

Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll. He even makes up some of the words!

Hope this is clean enough for ya:
The Lament Of The Pay-Toilet
"Here I sit,
Broken-hearted,
Paid my dime,
and only farted".

Johnny was a chemist
But Johnny is no more
What Johnny though was H20
Was H2SO4

I eat my peas with honey
I've done it all my life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on the knife
