Mama's Stew

In a big boiling pot

Over the hot stove

Add a pinch of garlic

A dash of nutmeg

Toss some spinach in there

Along with some broccoli

And cauliflower

Add some carrots

Potatoes

And even the week old

Decaying meatloaf

That mom made

Stir up

Let it simmer

Add some cereal

(Any of your choice)

Put a dollop of sour crème

Add a taco or two

O-LAY!

Some paprika, seasoning salt

And egg whites too!

Then put a grin on your face

And serve it to your brother

Because you are 5 years old

And you just learned

How to make

Stew like your mom.
