Lunchroom Larfs- March 3, 2015
One day, the carrots tired of being skinned and scalped, joined together to fight back. One brave carrot volunteered for the mission that would mean his certain death. He turned the peeler on himself and sharpened his end into a stake. In the middle of the night he snuck into the man's room and drove himself through the chef's heart. He perished soon afterwards, as he was a perishable (!). But to this day from crispers all over this great land you can still hear the haunting refrain of 'The Ballad of Francis Carrot, The Bravest Carrot Of The All." Every baby carrot is taught the song in Kindergarten.
Side Note: My eldest was thinking about this cartoon as she fell asleep and said, "Why didn't the human wonder why those carrots are standing up?" Touche!
