What's In There?

    Today's poem written for two or more voices using a repetitive chant.  Maybe it is my irregular eating habit lately that has me thinking food!

SOMETHING IN MY FOOD

Mama, oh Mama!

Look in there,

In my milk

There’s a hair.

Drink it child

And do not sass.

How else will you grow

A milk mustache?

Daddy, oh Daddy!

What’s the big deal?

There’s a cricket

In my oatmeal.

Hurry to eat it,

And get the froth,

Munch it quickly

‘Fore it jumps off.

Granny, oh Granny!

There’s a fly

Sitting in my

Chicken potpie.

Eat it child.

Just blow off that fuzz.

How else will you get

A good fly buzz?

Granddaddy, oh Granddaddy!

They’ve tried to hide her,

But inside my hamburger

There’s spider.

Hush now child.

Don’t be mean.

It’s just some good

Lean protein.
