Poetry: Food humor

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!

    Blech!
    The steaming dish stank
    Brownish green food lay wet and wilted in the bowl
    "Pass the Brussels sprouts please!"
