Poem In Titles Of
"Food"
Little Jimmie was overweight
So "Meatball" was the name they called him
And because he was short in stature
"Shrimp" was the name that would befall him
So the boys would push him around
And Jimmie ran like "Chicken" feet
Crying and upset and helpless
Like some "Dough" that had just been beat
Years later when Jimmie grew up
He was no longer that little "Tomato"
Turned those bullies right into "Corn Mash"
Especially the one called Fraydoe
Yes he called them on to a fight
Shouting to them, now you're "Toast"
Took em all on one at a time
Kicked em in the "Ribs"
at most
Everyone cheered for Jimmie
For he was no longer a "Chicken Tender"
And no longer a wimp or
a runner
Or an overweight "Spaghetti" bender
