What sorts of foods do children like?

     Well, ask them and you’ll see.

They may not be what adults like –

     Well the oldies just like me.

 

Good healthy foods, that adults like,

     To children may seem *iffy –

But try some favourites that they love

     And they'll vanish in a jiffy.

 

A peanut/jelly sandwich? - Oh!

      Some adults find this 'icky,  

They prefer a cheesy pizza, though

      For adults are so *picky.

 

A hamburger? Oh, yes, yes, yes.

     And with veggies they’re a treat.

A turkey-burger’s good, as well,

     And less fattening than red meat.

 

Is chicken noodle soup your choice –

     In winter, when it's cold?

I think you’ll find we all like this –

     Both children and we old.

 

Now get in groups and make a list

     Of foods that you like best,

And after all you’ve thought about

      I’m sure you’ll need a rest.
