Eat My Veggies

My mom told me to eat my vegetables but i threw them under the table
hoping the dog would eat them all because i knew i was'nt able 

She fixed my plate and made it pretty with corn and giant peas
She told me it was good for me to help fight off decease 

but when it came time for me to take a bite i could'nt hold it down 
it came back up my throat and out my mouth and it scattered all around 

so that day i made a vow and i also made a pledge 
that no one would ever fool me into eating another veg.
