Boiled Okra and Spinach

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
I got dressed, made my bed, and then I picked up the place
I did what you told me, I didn’t whine or cry
Took a nap, never saw time out, now all I can ask is why
Why am I being punished? Have I been so bad?
I sat down to dinner and this is what I had:
Boiled okra and spinach, it’s dangerous
Fishy fish with a thousand bones, cooked in asparagus
I’d rather eat boogers than black-eyed peas
I’d trade it all for a hamburger, or a pizza with double cheese
(No anchovies, no pepperonis and no mushrooms
No black olives or any other rabbit food!)
I’ve got an idea that’s bound to work
You finish the spinach and the black-eyed peas
Then I’ll go get dessert
Ice cream, or maybe a refrigerated candy bar
I’d scream with joy for a little piece of cake
Vegetables are very good for you
Eat your fish, eat your okra too
Clean your plate, it’s easy, it’s just a piece of cake!
