Who is the author of the poem about eating someone else's tomatoes?

Question

When I was in grade school I remember studying a poem, but I can't find its author anywhere now.

It goes something like this:

I ate your tomatoes

I know you were saving them

I'm sorry they were delicious

Answer 1

I think you may mean the following poem:

This Is Just to Say

by William Carlos Williams

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

Answer 2

It sounds like a variation on a very famous poem by William Carlos Williams called "This is just to say."

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold
