Feast
Smells float through the kitchen air,
Mom is hard at work on dinner,
Cling Clang Boom of pots and pans,
This meal has the makings of a winner.
The table is set and we are ready to eat
But what’s this green stuff on my plate?
None of this looks appealing at all.
But Mom insists I’ll love the taste.
So I suck it up and give it a try.
She worked so hard on this feast.
One bite and I asked right away,
Can I just have some Mac N Cheese?
Mom is hard at work on dinner,
Cling Clang Boom of pots and pans,
This meal has the makings of a winner.
The table is set and we are ready to eat
But what’s this green stuff on my plate?
None of this looks appealing at all.
But Mom insists I’ll love the taste.
So I suck it up and give it a try.
She worked so hard on this feast.
One bite and I asked right away,
Can I just have some Mac N Cheese?
