Sometimes I have a lot of food
On a very large plate.
Sometimes I cannot wait
To eat my fruit and veg.
I always know
It will help me grow,
Strengthen my bones
From tip to toe.
But sometimes I get fed up
With my fruit and veg.
I push my plate away
Then I hear my father say,
“You won’t grow up
To reach the stars,
Or have the strength
Of three spacemen.”
I had to remind him then,
That I’m a teddy bear
“That is no excuse,” he said,
“You still have to eat
Your fruit and veg!”
Gillian Sims.
