She never fed her kids sweets,
only whole wheat bread,
brown rice, sprouts, tofu,
apples, kale, spinach,
and lots of beans.

She made them chop wood,
dig flower beds,
read books,
walk a mile to school
and be in by midnight.

She sent them to overpriced
Quaker colleges.
They joined the peace corps,
worked in Europe,
and wrote home.

All was well until
they came back to America
and discovered what makes
our country great.
Apple pie, donuts, freedom fries.
Now they eat Just Desserts.
