My food loves to prance, to jump, to dance;I wait for the time, I wait for the chance!As mommy goes in and out of the room;tables and chairs become their ballroom!I flick my fingers; swing my wrist.Beans and turkey are doing the twist!Peas, plumbs, apples or mangos;on to the walls, they're doing the tango!

Life is but life, and death but death!/Bliss is but bliss, and breath but breath/And if, indeed, I fail,/At least to know the worst is sweet./Defeat means nothing but defeat,/No drearier can prevail
