Stuffing

Maurice Mc Muffin ate nothing but stuffin’He wouldn’t eat meat fruit or vegHis mother went potty it turned her quite dottyAnd was tipping her over the edge, so She thought up a plan to provide the young manWith food both nutritious and yummyUsing her skill, and determined to fillThat unhealthy space in his tummy In her kitchen domain she vowed to remainWhilst weaning him off of his dietTrying all recipes and hoping to pleaseAnd praying that he would just try it One day she was cooking and when she weren’t lookin’Young Maurice crept in through the doorHe tasted some pud and he found it was goodSaying “Mum can I please have some more” Mum jumped for joy because her little boyHad found  food that he wanted to eatNow he’ll scoff anything that his mother can bringAs long as it’s sticky and sweet

i love this john

pleasant and easy to read and puts a smile on my face. bloody kids and their food fads i was lucky - didn't have a problem at all with my two, but my grandkids are a different story. i'm a firm believer if you start them early, before they know how to complain then the road to healthy living is a lot easier too many young mothers these days feed their kids junk food because it's easier. love judy xx http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/TwentyMyPrettyPonies.html
