Carrots For Theo

There's a boy I know called Theo.
He's strong, with a roar like lion called Leo.

His Mummy made dinner with lots of carrots - Theo got mad.
And said some things which made her sad.

He later calmed, said "sorry Mummy",
"but those carrots, aren't going in my tummy".

"I'm a lion, all I want upon my plate.
Sausage 'N' Chips, and juicy steak".

"So stop repeating like a parrot.
Feed my brother with your carrot".

"His name is Reg, he loves his veg".
But I do not! I'd rather eat his snot".

"When Daddy gets back, from the pub.
He will bring back proper grub".

"Chicken 'N' Chips, in him I'm trusting.
as those carrots you've made, are bloody disgusting".

  1. What a playful, spirited, and wonderfully cheeky poem! It captures childhood mischief with such charm—Theo’s lion-hearted roar, his dramatic refusal of carrots, and the hilarious loyalty he places in Dad’s “proper grub” make the whole scene come alive. The rhymes flow effortlessly, the humor lands perfectly, and the characters—Mummy, Theo, Reg—each shine with personality in just a few lines.

    It’s a delightful slice of family life, full of imagination, attitude, and warmth. A joy to read!
