Our family and food

Is this our family or what? (except for the Stallings side, they're a little more picky about what they'll eat)

Chocolate
by Jane Yolen

I am an eater, no doubt.
There's hardly a food I'll leave out.
I eat all sorts of greenery--
Lettuce to beanery.
Meat, fish, and chickens
Are my kind of pickin's.
As for pizza, potpies,
Parfaits, pretzels, French fries--
If it's salty or sweet,
Then I'll eat.

But chocolate.
Oh--chocolate.
If it starts as cacao
I'll practically sway, oh--
I'll faint, I'll fall senseless,
I'll swooooooooon.
Just find me a plate
Or a platter (serves eight)
And my own
Giant-sized serving spoon.

In Michael J. Rosen's "Food Fight"

Had a great time at the Belvin party. Hips still a little sore though. Don't do much running or squatting, if I can help it.
