A HAPPY TOMORROW SMILES INSIDE THE BOWL

A happy tomorrow is not only in the song of Annie,

It does not hang on a branch with fruits aplenty.

It is in my bowl swirling, dancing and laughing,

With the spoon and fork smiling and whistling!

II

I enjoy looking at my bowl while I’m eating;

I burst with glee when it is winking,

Before greeting me -- “Hello, healthy boy!

I’m better than your remote-controlled toy!”

III

“What’s inside me, my friend?” Asks my bowl,

Its mouth like an opening of a berry boll.

I peer through its mouth if there’s any trout.

A slice of it swims with leaves in huge amount.

“My gift for you is not sadness, never any sickness,”

Tells my rounded bowl, I touch with gladness,

And then I ask what its gift for me?

“What’s inside me, it’s for free!”

Then the vegetables from mother’s basket

Spritely jump and dance, no sign of fret!

Robust looking Mrs. Squash gladly announces,

“Vegetables bring healthful surprises!”

VI

Fresh fruits on a tray then loudly chorus,

“We give you joy, jollier than the circus!”

Exclaims the Mango with golden sunrise sheen,

“We’ll make you glow, and guard your spleen!”

VIII

The vegetables and fruits on the tabletop parade

And Mrs. Spoon and Mr. Fork join the cavalcade!

Then Mr. Fork waves at me to join him,

His sparkling enthusiasm up to the brim!

We walk around the sun-kissed park.

He tells – “You future will never be dark!”

Mrs. Spoon joins us, then warmly faces me,

Says she – “Physical exercise, do it daily.”

Vegetable leaves become green little trumpets,

Glistening fruits singing the sonnets,

Then my friend, my favorite eating Bowl, sings –

“A happy tomorrow is what healthy diet brings!”

XI

Mr. Fork and Mrs. Spoon join the singing –

“Active lifestyle brings silver bells ringing.

A happy tomorrow is waving, it’s smiling!”

Yes, it’s the companion of nutritious eating.
