DISTURBING EATING HABITS

“Eat up your greens. They’ll do you good.”
“But Dad, please Dad. They taste like wood.”
“Like wood” shrieks Dad. “How would you know?”
“I had a bite out the door below.”

​“The door!” yells Dad. “It’s not all there.
What will Mum say? She will despair.”
“Mum” said boy “Will be okay,
as she has some as well each day!”
