Gardener's kinky threesome? Lettuce, turnip, & pea

Goes with 3 parts of an old wood burning stove(or fireplace?):
Lifter, Leg, & Poker

Apparently there's been a resurgemnce of the Burma Shave signs (albeit replicas) along 
Route 66, in AZ)

Burma Shave name & bramnd was bought by American Safety Razor Company in 1968; 
they brought back the Burma Shave name briefly in 1997, *7 it again lies dormant. . 

What a clever fleepiong idea/campaign that was, eh? Catchy little rhymes you picked up 
on easily & remembered.

All that began in 1927. . . :)

Nobody likes
To snuggle
Or dine
Accompanied by
A porcupine
Burma Shave
