Here are some group and individual poems campers wrote during our Food Fantasy Session 2:
The Pizza Construction Crew
Handy Ham the architect draws out all the plans.
Papa Pepperoni the contractor comes over to manage the demands.
Crummy Crust lays the foundation of crusty, fragrant bread.
Tommy Tomato comes next to sauce the foundation red.
Chucky Cheese, the third layer, spreads himself smooth and thin,
While Positive Pineapple chunks will bring us all a grin.
Olive Operator arrives to lift our project high
Into the oven we go, a marvelous pizza pie!
by Carson, Henry, Hayden, Alaina, Jovi, Katie, Anika and Beth
World Cup for BBQ
It’s the World Cup for BBQ and there’s a tie
Between the Hamburgers and Garlic Fries.
Cheesy Garlic fends off a shot by Salty Sam.
Pickle Pete scores with a big Kazam!
The Hamburgers are ahead one to zero.
But then Potato Percy scores and becomes a hero.
It’s the final quarter and the score is again a tie
Then Cheesy makes a goalie shot super high
And so the Hamburgers win the World Cup of BBQ.
The Monster Pizza
Gather the slimy, hairy and googly-eyed monsters.
Pound the living bread flour on a dreadfully horrid mat.
Next the sauce needs spreading.
Add the gross toppings.
Then you have to do some mopping
Cook it over a volcano.
Take it out, smell and say, “No!”
Off to a friend you go.
by Gio, Vanita, Zaria, Allison, Samantha, Sophie and Kyle
Taco Escape
Molly Guacamole falls to the floor pretending to be a spot on the ground,
As Mr. Guard bends to see the odd spot, Tommy Tomato jumps on his back,
And everyone thinks he’s bleeding.
Beefy Bob makes a ruckus to attract the guards,
While Shelly Shell holds the group together.
While all that is going on, Leo Lettuce steals the keys
And opens the door to freedom.
All slip out unnoticed. . .
By Emmy, Sawyer, Braxton, and Julia
The Way to Eat
The way to eat your chocolate chip cookies is to save out all the chips.
The way to eat your spicy bacon is to tear it into strips.
The way to eat your smoothie is to make sure it doesn’t drip.
The way to eat your pudding is to take it in small sips.
The way to eat your spinach is to find out all the tips.
The way to eat your fruit loops is to tie them around your hips.
The way to eat your penne pasta is to not let it touch your lips.
The way to eat your carrots is to soak them in good dips.
The way to eat this poem is to read it in a zip!
By Sophie
On Monday I eat strawberries and peaches with a pinch of cream.
On Tuesday I eat a delicious wrap with cheese, mustard, salami and turkey.
On Wednesday I eat a wonderful meal of steak right off the grill with a side of carrot sticks and cucumbers.
On Thursday I eat a great cereal bowl with my favorite mix of Grape Nuts on the bottom and Cheerios on the top. Yum!
On Friday I eat mac and cheese and a side of veggies and fruit.
On Saturday I eat a great deal of scrambled eggs and bacon to soothe my tongue.
And on Sunday I eat a piece of chocolate cake instead of my break.
