A little bit of onion A slice of cheese or two I wonder where this is going Will I end up in a stew My mouth is very watery My nose is twitching so My taste buds are so grumbly Where will this poem go It’s important to remember Just where our food comes from Will it make my tummy happy Or will I come out really glum First please think of farmers Who are growing all our food Next give thought to helpful people Who can be very shrewd The food is grown the pickers pick It needs to come together Who is it that brings everything Together no matter the weather The growers the pickers the gathering crowds The cooks the packers the stuff Have all got to work together So that we have enough And don’t forget the travelers Who brings things all to store They carry they unpack they place the food And even do much more Did you ever think about all this How food comes to your house It takes much more than before you knew And don’t forget your spouse Who buys who cleans who prepares for you So you can do your thing If you’re lucky that person may indeed Begin to dance and sing Our stomachs may enjoy our meals From taste to satisfy But heart is where you want to be If you want to reach the sky So taste and satisfaction Can come to us sometimes But the love of a good friend Can really toss up our enzymes So all these words must mean something Or this poem wouldn’t have be written Be kind be loving be thoughtful and true And you’ll find yourself so smitten
