There were grapes and granola bars, rice cakes, and jam
\nLittle bags of popcorn and sandwiches of ham
\nPeanut butter crackers and bagels and cheese
\nAnd everything I love to eat in piles up to my knees!
\nBut my mommy said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153No!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\nNot before we all go!
\nThat good stuff is all for the trip!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
I saw boxes of Cheerios, banana chips, pears
\nIn sacks by our suitcases next to the stairs;
\nSesame buns and muffins and cups of chocolate mousse
\nApples and trail mix and bread sticks and juice,
\nBut Mommy said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stop!
\nYou can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t drink a drop!
\nI packed all that food for the trip!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Dried apricots, yogurts, and all good things yummy
\nWere calling and calling and calling my tummy;
\nSo I asked one more time, could I have just one
\nA bread stick or cracker or bagel or bun
\nAnd she said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh, all right!
\nYou can have just a bite!
\nBut the rest we will save for the trip!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
