Vegetable war

She loves this, he loves that,

They love each other surprisingly.

In the whole of England there was never

A love so faithful and devoted.

However a parable counts in old England,

I do not know, whether it does elsewhere:

"And he who loves his treasure so much,

May love still others beside that."

She loved the beet, and he the radish,

The quarrel over there just won't end;

to such an extent it holds over in England,

mutual communication is difficult.

That was in England a very strange time:

One fought over radish or beet,

And over the radish - or the beet

Dissolved the sweetest love.

Yes we have them both, where you and I

And our culture much differs,

They now love both the vegetables

And love and live on still.
