How to Pick a Heart

Potatoes stay a long time,
You can eat them, even if they get soft,
Just tear their long eyes out and boil them good,
Then fry them up until they're hard enough.

Zucchini's different, I would leave them alone,
If they're so soft that they're actually mushy.
I couldn't tell you how they taste in that state,
So, if you know, why don't you tell me?

But really, both potatoes and zucchinis,
Should be firm and fresh when you eat them,
And if you think I'm saying the same thing about the heart,
Well, you know, I guess I am.

And it's alright,
If your heart's lost some of its firmness,
Unlike vegetables, it can be refreshed,
With a little rest and tenderness.
