Eat your carrots, eat your peas,
Eat your veggies, would you please?
Eat your corn and every bean,
Eat until your plate is clean.
Eating Veggies can be fun.
As you eat them, count each one.
See how many you can eat.
You can eat them with some meat.
Eat bananas, eat pineapples,
Eat good fruit, some grapes and apples,
Watermelon, orange, pear,
There's enough for you to share.
Fruits are such a tasty treat,
Some are crunchy, some are sweet.
God made fruits and veggies too.
All of them are good for you!

What a fun poem! You make me want to eat healthier for sure. :)
Connie, your poem is adorable! My new year's resolution should be to eat more veggies, but I mostly like them cooked with butter and salt. That's horrible!
We are certainly trying harder here:)
Hi Connie .. love this poem .. the words just run along .. then there's the learning, the tasting, smelling their scents, spelling etc .. a rolling off your tongue poem .. lovely - thanks Hilary
oh I love this poem! Gorgeous
This is the cutest poem. I would have read it to my kiddos when they were little that's for sure. But maybe I would have changed the last line to Eat them, none of them are good for you. I'm just saying.... :)
You are so talented.

I like fruits and veggies! Of course, I'm a vegan.
Oh I love the poem and can't wait to read it to my grandsons. They will love it!
