Five Yummy Fruits
Five yummy fruits sit in the bowl,
We bought them at the store.
My dad chose one and ate it, CRUNCH!
Then there were four.
Four yummy fruits left in the bowl,
Some grew upon a tree.
My mom chose one and ate it, CRUNCH!
Then there were three.
Three yummy fruits left in the bowl,
Fresh as the morning dew.
My sis chose one and ate it, CRUNCH!
Then there were two.
Two yummy fruits left in the bowl,
Ripened by the sun.
Brother chose one and ate it, CRUNCH!
Then there was one.
One yummy fruit left in the bowl,
I'm running out of time.
I really don't mind sharing, CRUNCH!
But this one is mine!
