The Funny School Dinner
The blue mash potato did a somersault spin,
Then landed in the gravy with a very big grin.
It shouted, “I’m king of the plate!” with a very loud splat,
While the peas rolled away wearing huge pink hats.
The carrots stood up and began to do ballet,
Twirl-twirling in circles in a most elegant way.
“Join in!” they called to a fish finger mister,
Who swam through the custard with his mum and his sister.
The jelly went bounce, bounce, bounce, BOING!
Right over the cabbage who was wearing a loin.
“La-la-la-broccoli!” warbled the greens,
As the sausages danced with the slippery beans.
The dinner lady laughed and said, “Eat up, my dears!”
But the food was too busy with giggles and cheer.
So the children just watched with their forks in the air,
While the school dinner party went on everywhere.
After some time the food became calm
And all of the yummies jumped into the tummies
