“Nobody ever talks to me,”
says poor Canute Cucumber.
“Nobody takes a walk with me
or says I’m a cute Cucumber.
“What on God’s earth can one do?
One feels so terribly green;
Must one wait till one’s twenty–two
Before one is heard of or seen?
“Nobody ever talks to me,
I wonder is it my name?
Nobody takes a walk with me
Really, you know, it’s a shame!”
