CLEAN PLATE CLUB by Russ McKay

Mom makes me clean my plate
Of foods at dinner that don’t taste great
I wish foods tasted like dessert
Instead of beets that taste like dirt!

Everyone says Mom cooks good
But I don’t like her choice of food
Like Broccoli and Brussels sprouts
I can easily do without

I tried to get some smaller portions
. But she gave me some conditions
I have to eat all five food groups
But some of those just taste like goop

I push the stuff around my plate
The outside edge are the foods I hate
I could easily finish dinner
If I only had to eat the center
