My Brother Will Not Eat His VeggiesA funny poem about eating healthy foods.My brother will not eat his veggies. He eats mostly unhealthy food. I think that it might be his diet that makes him so terribly rude. For breakfast he likes to eat pastries. He then wipes his hands on his shirt. He burps and he won't say, "Excuse me." Instead he demands his dessert. Me, I prefer veggie omelets. with peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. I eat with my very best manners, and always say thank you and please. I wish that my brother ate veggies I think that is all it would take to make him a well mannered brother, but he just eats candy and cake. Last night I was eating my carrots. He grabbed one and gave it a try. I watched his reaction and noticed a strange look come into his eye. Were vegetables giving him manners, or would he remain rude and curt? My question was answered the second he burped and asked, "Where's my dessert?" I haven't lost faith in my veggies. They do make you healthy and bright. Their powers are truly amazing, but they can't make your brother polite. The Above Poem * Copyright © 2006 |
