Yummy

Once there was a potato chip
Curled gracefully in a "U"
Glistening with salt particles
Just waiting for a chew

Can you take and eat just one?
I don't believe you can
You'd have to eat the biggest chip
That fits in the slender can

Noooo, keep them neat, and when complete
Lick each side of your thumb
The can is empty 'cause you see
You've eaten every crumb
