Mama’s Pot
by Olivia Healey, Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar School
Finalist, Foundation – Year 2, written poetry
Bolognese is yummy
Bolognese is sweet
But the best bolognese
has divine wagyu meat
Grate a little carrot
Add some tasty meat
Simmer for four hours
Then it’s ready to eat
Ladle onto pasta
Grate cheese on the top
Smells quite pungent
But I like it a lot
Steaming, screaming, “Somebody eat me!”
I volunteer –
“I’ll have you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!”
A guaranteed winner
It’s filled with vegetables
So it’s nutritious
And best of all
it is delicious
You can have it warm
You can have it hot
But the best bolognese
Is straight from Mama’s pot.
‘A deliciously fun and flavourful poem.’
