My kids asked me to write a song listing all the foods they can't eat, based on this favorite of theirs:




So I whipped this one up while they were cooking their weekly batches of meatballs and muffins:

Sugar, and starches, and gluten, and dairy, and
Chicken eggs, okra, and soy
Peaches for [Minifob], chicken for ['fobette],
Peanuts for both of the boys.
Celery's no good, at least not for ['fobette],
Seaweed and taters are out.
Bananas are weird, they convert as they ripen, the
Brown spots eliminate doubt!
Theeeere's pineapple, cherries, and corn for just [stepson],
To skip all these foods must seem rude,
There's still plenty more things my kids are allergic to--
Luckily cats are not food!

This is truly brilliant!

I slowed the playback speed to .5x and sang your lyrics along with the tune and tempo--perfecto! I can't wait for the third and fourth verses! You could pick up on cats and other equally ridiculous "not foods".

BRAVA!!!!
