SCHOOL DINNERS

By Josie Whitehead

School Dinners

Cornflakes for my breakfast

     And pizza for my tea,
But in between, school dinners.  

     Oh whatever will they be?

​

On Monday we have salad

     With some great big slugs inside.
Most children simply disappear: 

     They run away and hide.

​

On Tuesday we have sausages.

      They’re made from minced up snails,
But to add some crunch and texture,

     They add some rusty nails. 

​

On Wednesday?  Oh, on Wednesdays:

     We're given wriggly worms,
But they’re most hygienically prepared,

     So you won't find many germs.

​

When Thursday comes: Oh wait for this -
      The menu’s really great:
The leftovers from all the week
     Are served up on our plates.

​

Now Friday’s here - a special treat:
      A tasty seaweed stew
And the  teachers say: 'Come on, eat up.
      School meals are good for you.'

Oh dear, dear dear:  You know this is only a joke!  The school dinners of  today, I'm sure, are good and they were really good when I was a child a long time ago.  Josie
