A Bottomless Pit
A Mother's Lament
He loves to eat and eat.
He'll raid the refrigerator,
And eat all the favorite treats.
Jerry will down twenty pancakes.
He'll eat ten sausages too.
And yet Jerry won't gain a pound.
What's a mother to do?
Jerry can eat half an apple pie.
He'll drink a gallon of juice.
If Jerry's invited to a buffet dinner,
Watch out when Jerry's loose.
Jerry loves to eat Chinese food.
He'll have one dish from column B.
But that won't stop Jerry,
He'll also order from C,D, and E.
If you have a son like Jerry,
I wish you the best of luck.
Because when it comes to eating food,
Jerry's like a huge dump truck.

Post a CommentReally cute and funny poem!
This is funny, and we all know one of these (usually shows up at family dinners empty-handed!)

LOL Actually I have a teenage grandson that eats like that. His mother's always talking about she can't believe he ate the whole thing and then wants another one.
