Jelly Babies Poem by Charlotte Ballard

I love jelly babies
Prepared with fat
Sage and garlic
Just right for a snack.
 
Won't you join me?
I've got plates for two,
Peas and carrots,
Quite a feast of food.
 
Jelly babies
Make the best dishes
Enough for me
And a bit for the fishes.
 
Jelly Babies bubble
Up with gas,
Each found in a bucket
Thrown from a lab.
 
I gather the babes
And murmur a thanks to their moms
For letting me feast
Of the fruit of the womb.
