They won’t eat peas, don’t like your bread -
For something in it crunches;
They gag on fat, the gravy’s gross,
They won’t eat grapes in bunches.

Garlic nor cottage cheese;
Oh, it’s a dish uncommon rare

And gravely hand it to their mum
To take it to clean away

And calmly ask for more.
Oh, I do so always love to eat
With picky little pests,
Whose parents joy to make them
The most undesirable guests!
