Poetry Submission: Hearty Appetite - Mother to Avrumie
Hearty Appetite by Judith Mesch
One day I said to young Avrumie Of all the things that you call Yummy Which would you wish most in your Tummy? Avrumie pondered, eating Gummies There’s not so much I think is Crummy Just about anything suits my Tummy A Pie A Cake Some chicken cutlets A steak Three eggs A bowl of nutlets A slice or two of cheesy Pizza Or if I’m fleishig, I eat Meatsa But tell me please, I asked the youngster There must be a favourite amongster A food or snack that’s so delicious You’d choose it first of many dishes Avrumie was not that ambitious Not so, he said and shook his Kepple I eat whatever’s in the Tepple I like what’s right in front of me I like the food that I can see I start with food that’s on the table And eat as long as I am able I always eat from left to right I eat until my pants get tight Which isn’t until late at night
Although not what his mother wishes It seemed haphazardly nutritious I wished him well and washed the dishes
