Peas Be With You

What's all this about wantingPeas on Earth all the time?
What's wrong with corn, or carrots? Why don't we ever wish for "World Broccoli!"?
Or ask our children for a little "Cucumbersand Quiet!"?
Why is it, when we're troubled, we never pray for "Inner Apricots"?
How did this incredible obsession with vegetables, ever begin?
It might just be, however: that if everybody gardened; they'd all get along better with most of their neighbors.
