The Spinach Conspiracy

Mothers seem to have a way of hiding it just about everywhere!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE SPINACH CONSPIRACY

 

There is something going on, in our kitchen,

And I think that my, own, mother is involved;

While she is sneaking around, I keep looking in,

Hoping the green mystery can be solved.

 

I am sure that I saw it in the pizza, homemade,

And what was that green stuff in the meatballs;

Twas some dark green lettuce in the salad she made;

There is something green hidden behind these walls.

 

She made some weird green bread and toasted it

To serve with her delicious soup of the tomato;

That green twas in my burger, reminded me of it;

I am sure that she thinks the green doesn't show.

 

I love her lasagna, but I found some green there;

And, her meatloaf has a hint of green in it, too;

Why did I find it hiding in this cheese souffle, here;

Brother spotted it on a chicken sandwich; who knew.

 

She seems to be hiding this stuff everywhere;

For some mysterious reason, feeding it to me;

I'm writing this for, after I am dead, those who care;

Mother is poisoning me with green stuff I can see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

I have created the "I Can Write About Anything" one day contest. The key word is "spinach!" However, I decided to try the challenge, myself. I really enjoyed it, too. We have to try this, again.

Mothers will try anything to get her kids to eat healthy. Sometimes way back when a little of the green stuff mixed in helped a meal go a little farther. You and your brother were very good at hiding or finding a way to hide the food you didn't like under the plate or somewhere and later giving it a quick flush. LOL
