Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Greedy Guts

I like food
It's so scrummy
Lots of goodies for my tummy
If I eat my food too quick
It can make me very sick
How my stomach would ache
With just one more small piece of cake
Perhaps I could make it Two
This message isn't getting through
Lots of delicious things to eat
My eyes are having such a treat
So much food on the table
I'll eat as much as I am able
To stuff into my greedy face
My stomach feels I am a disgrace
Thinking I'm the only one
Not to consider my sick tum
