Spaghetti and meatballs

(for Cassidy Rose)

 

 

I’m sitting in my high chair

waiting for my tea

when Mum brings along

my favourite meal to me.

 

 

It’s a bowl full of spaghetti

all covered with hot melting cheese

and resting on top of the pile

are meatballs as big as you please!

 

Spaghetti and meatballs I rub through my hair.

Spaghetti and meatballs I smear over my chair.

Spaghetti and meatballs are all over my clothes.

Spaghetti and meatballs from my head to my toes.

 

Spaghetti and meatballs taste just great.

But I do have trouble keeping them on my plate.

My spaghetti and meatballs slide from the table

then on to the floor.

Maisie the dog comes through the door

to lick up the mess

and begs me for more.

 

Spaghetti and meatballs I’d eat every night

but Mum says I look a terrible sight.

Dad says I’m enough to give him a fright.

 

I love my spaghetti and meatballs all covered with cheese.

So when it’s all gone,

I hold up my bowl and say

“More please!”
