School holidays are here and I’m glad you are home
Our place is a great spot to relax or be alone
But it’s only a day before you start to moan
“There’s nothing to eat in this house!”
I watch as you wander from pantry to fridge
And stare inside hoping that something will give
But sooner or later you’ll cry out in grief
“There’s nothing to eat in this house!”
Let me tell you all about food my darlings
I shop once a week and buy all your fave things
Fresh bread and cereal, chips and cheese rings
So there’s plenty to eat in this house!
But it’s not my fault if you are so bored
That in one day you finish all I have bought
When I have been hungry and desperately sought
There’s always something to eat in the house.
Sure the chips have all gone and you’ve emptied the fruit plate
And the juice that I bought was gone in a day
But there’s heaps left to snack on so how dare you say
There’s nothing to eat in this house.
There was certainly plenty to eat for our breakfast
Dad had his scrambled eggs, I had my toast.
Tonight we’ll be dining on mums specialty - roast.
See? There’s plenty to eat in this house.
And in between meals Salada’s will do
And I could eat an apple or a banana (or two)
If you could just learn to cut up your own fruit
There’d be plenty you could eat in this house.
In two weeks you’ll be back to packed lunches each day
With sandwiches, fruit - and a treat by the way
Till then you won’t starve, so how dare you say
“There’s nothing to eat in this house!”
HAPPY SCHOOL HOLIDAYS!!!!
