A DOZEN THINGS TO DO WITH A ZUCCHINI

I can pretend I’m baseball player and make a home run.

I can be a famous food lifter and win a gold medal.

I can be a carpenter and build a great castle!

I can pretend I am a fairy and wave my wand, “ Bibbityy, bobbity, boo foo” -- something like that.

I can scoop one out and give it a popsicle-stick mast and a paper sail and sail it across my swimming pool.

I can cut it up in chunks and feed it to my dog.

I can play “caveman” and it’ll be my club.

I could cook it and eat it, but I wouldn’t want to.

I could ask my mom to grate some and make zucchini bread.

I could ask my mom to grate some and make zucchini crab cakes, which I hate but my brother and sister love!

I could bang it on my head or on yours.

I could dress it up and pretend it’s a doll baby and I’d call her,
Zelda the Zucchini!
