Corn, pepper, aubergine, and carrot too,
With cucumber and greens, we'll make a salad for you.
A mix of colors and flavors, so bright and so bold,
A healthy treat that's good for your heart, and will keep you strong and bold.

Corn with its golden hues, so sweet and so fine,
Pepper with its crunch, a taste that's truly divine.
Aubergine with its purple shade, a unique delight,
And carrots with their orange gleam, so full of Vitamin light.

Cucumber with its coolness, so crisp and so clean,
And greens with their freshness, a garden's splendor seen.
Together they come, to make a salad so grand,
A tasty treat that's good for you, and oh so very bland!

So when you're feeling hungry, and you want something great,
Just remember the veggies, they'll make your day complete.
Corn, pepper, aubergine, carrot, cucumber and salad greens,
A healthy meal that's sure to please, for kids and grown-ups alike it means!
