Curse of the Spinach

Spinach cake with spinach sauce used to taste divine
 It once was served at parties
 Children loved it and ate it all the time
 Spinach flakes for breakfast
 Spinach sprinkles on ice cream
 Spinach sandwiches in every school lunch
 Life was just a spinach dream
 Then the dream got ugly
 The sky turned dark and gray
 All the other veggies were jealous
 They cursed the spinach and all the good taste went away
 Now spinach is served with vinegar
 Salt and pepper, cheese and Hollandaise
 In lasagna, and omelets, quiche, and calzone
 They do everything they can to hide the taste
 Because now the taste is ugly
 All the other veggies got their way
 And whenever children are told to eat their spinach
 They just scream and quickly run away
