I like pizza, hot dogs, and chicken wings,
So why does my Mom make me try new things?
This new thing on my plate is colored green.
A sign that I am allergic to it.
I'm sure that Mom doesn't want me to die.
So I'd better not eat any of this.

Great! Mom said she doesn't mind if I die.
So I must take a tiny little taste.
Well, it does taste kinda sorta yummy.
But don't you dare tell my Mom that I said so!
