JUST DESSERT?
As children of all ages,
We eat our meals in stages,
Ever always, on alert,
Looking for our just dessert.
Eating green peas, carrots, corn,
Waiting with a look forlorn,
Seeking something sweet to follow,
As reluctantly, we swallow.
If I eat what's on my plate,
Will you bring me something great?
Broccoli and cauliflower,
Give me chocolate to devour!
The best in life is worth the wait,
Although I just may hesitate,
I'll eat the vegetables accursed,
Or better yet, eat dessert first!
