This cute poem was written by one of my 9-year-old grandsons and myself. He doesn’t like vegetables and was having a hard time one weekend day eating some broccoli that his dad, which is my son wanted him to eat. After struggling to take a bite of broccoli, he stated, “I don’t like veggies,” that’s when I said to him, “Joshua, why don’t you sit down with grandma after you finish your food and we can write a poem about you not liking veggies.” He agreed and we wrote this poem using many of his own words as to why he doesn’t like veggies. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
I don’t like veggies
they are such a waste
Their colors are pretty
but they taste like paste
I don’t like veggies
they look quite funny
I’d rather eat pancakes
with butter and honey
I don’t like veggies
they don’t taste sweet
Like brownies & cookies
Yum, yum what a treat
Daddy wants me to eat them
Mommy says it’s a must
Grandma hides them in recipes
rolled up in biscuit crust
Veggies are hidden in casseroles
I may have eaten more than I think
Grownups hide them so well
They’re probably hidden in my drinks
