What to Eat?
I don’t know what to eat
There’s plenty of food to make
This decision has me beat
We have bread, cheese, and meat
Plus snacks like chips and cake
I don’t know what to eat
Cookies? We have sheets.
And enough soda to fill a lake
This decision has me beat
Whenever hungry, I like to greet
The fridge, but then I quake
I don’t know what to eat
I have corn, potatoes and wheat
And plenty of stuff to bake
This decision has me beat
I can’t decide, meal or treat?
From the moment I am awake
I don’t know what to eat
This decision has me beat
