HOW DO CHILDREN TASTE?

By Josie Whitehead

How Do Children Taste?

The monster said: 

​

"How I wish I could sing

      Like a bird in a tree.
How I wish that I smelt

      Like a rose or sweet pea.

​

"How I wish that I looked

     Like a famous film star.
How I wish that I tasted

      Like a sweet chocolate bar.

​

"How I wish that I felt –

      Well how could a child feel?
Well pinch one and feel one,

       But expect a loud squeal!       

       
"You can hear their loud shouting

      Which can deafen the ear,
But I think they taste uggh, yucky,

      So you’ve nothing to fear."
