Pizza In His Pocket

Did you ever hear about the boy who ate and ate and ate !
He ate early in the morning and he ate when it was late.

But he didn't thank Allah for all the yummy food he had
And he ate so much it made him sick!
Which really made him sad.

He ate dates in Damascus, which he thought were very nice
And hot samoosas in Sumatra, seasoned with a special spice

He had tacos in Tijuana with some he got from Spain
And a bowl of fresh bakalava that he bartered in Bahrain

He said gyros made in Cairo are a taste that can't be beat
And the lemonade in Yemen made a very special treat

But the turkey made in Turkey could still use a pinch of salt
If you ever visit Malta, you should have a chocolate malt!

*He had pizza in his pocket, he had ketchup on his shirt
  And he bought an ice-cream sundae so he wouldn't miss desert

Only a bay in the Bahamas, he ate bon-bons in a bunch
And then he rushed back home so he could make it
Just in time for lunch!

Then one day he saw a little girl, who held her tummy tight
And he walked over and asked her if everything was alright

She said she was so hungry and he had been hungry for so long
Then he realized the way he ate was very very wrong

He looked down at his own tummy and he started feeling pain
Pain from eating too much food, he knew not to complain
So he brought the girl some food, shared it with her family
Then they thanked Allah for what they had, and then he let them be

So let's try to learn a lesson and let's try to do what's right
Eat the food your parents give you without a fuss or a fight

Always be thankful to Allah for all your yummy food
Share what you have with others, because not sharing is rude

#Being thankful is what's really great
 Eat the veggies on your plate
 And don't be like the boy who always ate and ate and ate !
