Eat Your Vege

I love cauliflower
I eat it every day its true
I like broccoli as well
I love veggies just like you 

I don’t know why you grump 
I see you stomping round
Giving me the side eye
Making sweary sounds

What is it to you really?
A girl has got to eat right?
I’m not apologising
For eating well day and night

You’re just jealous you are!
You keep up this attitude
And there will be no choice
I’ll have to hide from you

I’ll hide from you then BAM!
I’ll appear when least expected
Right in front of your face -
Then fly away unaffected

Caterpillar to cabbage butterfly, that’s me
Hahaha, that’s really put you in a spin
It should be no big surprise to you - 
When it comes to vege I always win!
