Dmitri, can I put a piccie of the turnip in accompanied by 2legs' turnip carver ballad?

a melon ball scooper thing with a cunningly sharpened edge
Such bliss, such bliss, the turnip carvers revery,
equiped thusly, form taketh shape,
cut, twist turn, pull, and draw,
ttwist and turn, again, and once more,
revealing the shape, the form, the presence,
that from within deep the turnip does arrise,
not creating, but releasing, the hidden turnip and its carved form,
pure bliss pure magisy, as agan the hand it move.
Take form, take flight, take shape, my beautiful turnip,
reveal, demonstrate, and to us show,
Reveal, to us, great turnip, unmask your hidden form,
To at last and the light of day, the final carved turnip achieves its rendered form

(hmm... may need tidying up and editing mind... )
