Broccoli in the bath water
Noodles and hamburger too
Take more than an hour to eat your dinner,
And it will go with you.
You say you're full
I know you're not
You'll be up in an hour, it's true
Begging and pleading and shedding those tears
all for a cracker or two.
So into the tub
Into the tub
Into the tub with you.
You'll finish your dinner
And stay in your seat
Sure as the sky is blue.
Don't worry if your veggies get wet
I promise it won't hurt you
Honestly, it's not a big deal
Remember your mouth is wet too.
See, it's a treat to eat in the tub
Multi-tasking is fun!
As long as it works and you get to bed
Before the rise of the sun.

I am a storyteller, writer, librarian and countrywoman. I have lived in West Virginia over 30 years and have done the things you read about in history books--growing tobacco, making molasses, living without electricity.
