The magical appearance of a giant okra plant in my garden gave me the inspiration to write a series of books. I thought I might share a few of the proposed titles with my loyal readers:
Cry, the Beloved Okra
       A poor Minister, living on an Okra Plantation in Africa overcomes adversity from the neighboring Kale Planters.
Goodnight, OKRA
       A tiny tot is introduced to organic farming through a simple story.
James and the Giant Okra
       A young waif is befriended by a motley crew of oversized insects who all ride the waves on a giant okra.
Jack and the Okra Plant
       A poor farm boy makes it rich trading okra futures in the stock market.
The Wizard of Okra
       A simple girl from Kansas tries to take over the Okra-green City by a multiracial alliance.
The Little Okra on the Prairie
       A family faces an okra famine in the Mid-west.
As you can see the possibilities are endless. It is only through pure self restraint that I could be kept from starting some of these non-fiction classics, not mention some of great historical accounts begging to begin:
A Brief History of Okra
       The ultimate theory of everything green in the universe.
Godel, Escher, Okra
       Only through the meta-okra can we begin to understand the true essence of okra.
The Stillness at Okra
       The end of the Great Okra War finally has a voice.
Okra's Seed
       The origin of the five okra societies in America.
I couldn't resist one last work, the musical:
Okrahoma
       A poor okra farmer struggles to make a living singing on Broadway.
Wait, wait, I almost forgot, that terribly popular TV show:
OKRA
 
You forgot:
