Analysis of Eat
You have to learn to eat everything
in Africa kids are in hunger
I hate spinach, I don't want to
don't argue, just eat it
Once in a week I'm reading
to a boy on wednesday afternoon
his mother cooked him tomato soup
and he didn't like it
I asked her why you make it then
and she replied as in the first line
I said I don't understand you
there can be differences in tastes
One likes this, the other that
and out of experience I know
that bodies do reject the food
that doesn't feel good inside
So don't force your child
with remarks as do as told
parents always remember
that we were once the same
