1. The Vulture
by Hilaire BellocThe vulture eats between his meals,
And that’s the reason why
He very, very rarely feels
As well as you or I.His eye is dull. His head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner,
Oh, what a lesson for us all,
To only eat at dinner!2. Celery
by Ogden NashCelery, raw,
Develops the jaw,
But celery, stewed,
Is more quietly chewed.
