"School Lunch"
by
Kathryn Vernig

chool lunch oh school lunch, 
How do I dread thee!
With your green food and old milk,
It's dreaded by all kids and me!
You get in the line, 
And begin to fill up your plate.
When you hear a scream and a thump;
It's your best friend Kate!
You step over Kate,
And bring out money to pay,
And then you sit down, thinking
"Why couldn't I be sick today?"
You pick up the fork,
And chew up the food-
Hey! This stuff is-
Very GOOD!
School lunch oh school lunch,
I misjudged thee,
You're yummy and good,
At least by me!
