My Dinner Loves DancingMy 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 twistPeas, plumbs, apples or mangos; on to

the walls, they're doing the tango!
