“Eat it--it's good for you!"

That makes me mad.

How can something good for you

Taste so bad?

"Try it. You'll like it."

I know that's a lie.

I know I won't like it

So why should I try?

"Just take a nibble.

Just one little taste."

What good is a nibble?

The rest goes to waste.

Eggplant is icky.

Spaghetti is fine.

Why can't they eat their food

And let me eat mine?
