Gobblegooky

We recently checked out a hilarious book from the library entitled "Science Verse" by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. I thought I'd share our favorite verse for all of the foodies and Jabberwocky aficionados out there.

Gobblegooky
by Jon Scieszka

‘Twas fructose, and the vitamins
Did zinc and dye (red #8).
All poly were the thiamins,
And the carbohydrate.

Beware the Gobblegook, my son!
The flavorings, the added C!
Beware the serving size, and shun
The dreaded BHT.

And as in folic thought I stood,
The Gobblegook, with eyes nitrate,
Came gluten through the dextrose wood,
Its extracts carbonate.

Oh, can you slay the Gobblegook,
Polyunsaturated boy?
3,000 calories! Don’t look!
The sugars! Fats! Oh soy.

‘Twas fructose, and the vitamins
Did zinc and dye (red #8).
All poly were the thiamins,
And the carbohydrate.

Lewis Carroll says: Provecho!
