The Meal

Timothy Tompkins had turnips and tea.
The turnips were tiny.
He ate at least three.
And then, for dessert,
He had onions and ice.
He liked them so much,
That he ordered it twice.
He had two cups of ketchup,
A prune, and a pickle.
‘Delicious’, said Timothy.
‘Well worth a nickel.’
He folded his napkin,
And hastened to add,
‘It’s one of the loveliest breakfasts I’ve had.’
