Into the kitchen, tip toed little Mary’s feet.

Her tummy was empty, she wanted to eat.

First to the pantry, full of boxes stacked tall.

She must be careful not to make them fall.

A cookie or popcorn, she couldn’t decide.

She left with some crackers, with cheese inside.

On to the fridge, she needed a drink,

but the milk jug was empty, now she must think.

Juice or water, what would it be?

She crept away with a small glass of tea.

Mary slipped out the door, to eat her treat on the slide.

To find her mother was waiting on the other side.

In her hands were milk and cake,

Mary realized she had made a mistake.

She set down her snack that now looked dull,

and feasted on cake until her little tummy was full.
