Tender Tums
Some stomachs are sensitive
They grumble and complain
It's fortunate that all of them
Don't re-act the same
Some are very selective
And careful about what they eat
Others devour everything
As if it were a treat
Apple Pie, Jelly, Nuts, Ice Cream
Chocolate, Meat, No Veg
This would tip a sensitive tum
Completely over the edge
Some would say it's unfair
To the stomach that's not strong
It may be unpleasant
But not entirely wrong
Over-eating is not healthy
Most stomachs realise that
Too much of anything is harmful
Too much food makes stomachs fat
