Separ-ate Plate

I love my little separ-ate plate.

It’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.

There are only two of them.

Jill’s is red and mine is green.

Three little compartments on the top,

and a big one on the bottom

hold apples, corn, and carrots

and meat and gravy, if you got em.

I like little cubes of cheese

and pieces of tomatoes,

hot dog rounds, chicken nuggets,

and French fried potatoes.

Ketchup, sauce, or peanut butter,

the little wells are good for dipping

and the sturdy little tray

keeps the food from dripping.

A little plastic mug of milk

with a colored straw for sipping,

makes my little meal complete

and helps me keep from tipping.

Two little chairs and a DVD

at the Tinkerbell table

make the perfect luncheon date

with your cousin if she’s able.

I love my little separ-ate plate

It’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen

I love to see what surprises it holds

and lick the platter clean.
