| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 10/11/02 at 08:11 PM This poem is a great read-a-loud for children! It's outrageous absurdity surely would bring squeals of horror from the girls (who with all their protestations will love it) and wide grins from the boys. I can hear all the "yucks" and "uhhhs" now! And the "ymmmys" and smacking lips from the boys (who will pretend to like the idea of the food to tease the girls). |

| Posted by Melanie A Bennett on 03/05/03 at 04:45 AM Kind of disgusting ingredients here...(at least to me now...) :) But a very cute way to write this poem! Love it! ~Mel~ |

Good one. Sounds like a kid, hee! Hee! They would surely love it. I'll pass on supper with them. Hee! Hee! Longs as it not in really real in life, shouldn't be too bad to pretend with them. Then again, so might say. |

| Posted by Amanda L Marron on 08/06/04 at 11:28 PM cute.....there was one story when i was little....in one book.....maybe "where the sidewalk ends" that this reminds me of |

| Posted by Marjorie Anne Reagan on 09/14/04 at 03:37 AM Um Queasy here but somehow chocolate sounds good even on killer bees feet! Very funny but eating butterflies just ain't right dude. Fun Read so now should we call you Father Goose? |
| Posted by Graeme Fielden on 12/08/04 at 06:37 AM this is magical Charles...great stuff! :) |
| Posted by Paganini Jones on 02/20/05 at 11:22 PM Indeed a fun kids poem, but I'd get rid of the last verse really. Its kind of superfluous, and of course not appropriate if you target it at kids anyhow |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/21/09 at 06:10 PM Smile smile chuckle. Gees, this poem brings back memories - still accessible even as old as I am - of moments of imagination in childhood. Delightful poem, Chaz. |
| Posted by Clara Mae Gregory on 11/04/14 at 03:06 PM ...I still pretend. Miss you Charles....love the legacy of your poetry that lives on.... |
| Posted by June Labyzon on 11/08/14 at 01:54 PM I was drawn to read this poem this morning because of a little ditty my daughter (now 32) used to sing in Kindergarten in New Orleans named Alligator pie. I have two granddaughters now age 1 and 3. I think I will teach this poem to the 3 years old. It is delightful. Thank you. |
