For all we know, we might invent some process in the future for actually communicating with vegetables.

geez, comment like that kinda makes me miss ole "W" coulda pinned that one on him a dozen different ways....
Call any vegetable, call it by name
Call one today when you get off of the train
Call any vegetable, and the chances are good
The vegetable will respond to you
Call any vegetable Pick up your phone
Think of a vegetable Lonely at home
Call any vegetable And the chances are good
That a vegetable will respond to you
No one will know
If you don't want to let them know
No one will know
'Less it's you that might tell them so
Call and they'll come to you
Covered with dew
Vegetables dream, Of responding to you
Standing there shiny and proud by your side
Holding your hand while the neighbors decide
Why is a vegetable something to hide?
