Mealtime Rhymes

Thank you for the food we eat, thank you for the friends we meet, thank you for the sun and rain — now let's eat, and smile again!

Hands are washed and we sit down, no more running round the town. Spoons are ready, plates are too — enjoy your meal, and so will you!

One, two, three, we hold hands tight, the table's set, the food smells right. Four, five, six, it's time to munch — happy, happy, happy lunch!

Little carrot, orange bright, little apple, crunchy bite, bread and cheese and milk so white — thank you for our appetite!

Wiggle fingers, wiggle toes, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle nose. Now we're still and quiet too — bon appétit to all of you!

The bees made honey, the cows made cheese, the farmer grew the beans and peas. We say thank you, one and all, the big, the medium and the small!

Round the table, side by side, open mouths and open wide! Not too fast and not too slow — ready, steady, off we go!

Sun is shining on our plate, we are hungry, we can't wait. Clap your hands and count to three: one, two, three — enjoy with me!

Rumble, rumble goes my tummy, something here smells really yummy. Let's be thankful, let's be glad, for the best meal we've ever had!

Little mouse with whiskers fine sat down to eat at half past nine. She said please and thank you too — and that's what we will also do!

Apples red and apples green, the yummiest snack I've ever seen. Share with friends, then take a bite — sharing makes the day feel bright!

Breakfast time, the morning's new, the sky is bright, the day is too. We eat and grow and laugh and play — good morning, and a happy day!

Gathered here at end of day, we put our phones and cares away. For food and family, love and cheer, we're grateful that we're all right here.

Bless the cook and bless the meal, bless the friendship that we feel. May this table always be full of warmth and company.

Good food, good mood, good company — that's all we need, it seems to me. So raise your fork and raise your glass: here's to the moments as they pass!

For every hand that grew this food, for every heart in thankful mood, for every laugh we share tonight — we say thank you, and dig in right!

Sunday table, long and wide, grandma, grandpa side by side. Stories old and stories new — happy Sunday, all of you!

The soup is hot, the bread is warm, we're safe inside from wind and storm. Whatever came our way today, at this table we're okay.

Let's eat slowly, let's taste well, let's have stories we can tell. Not the food alone is good — it's the time together, as it should.

A birthday cake, a candle bright, we're all together here tonight. Make a wish and blow — hooray! then let's enjoy this special day!

Pumpkins, apples, golden grain, autumn's here with wind and rain. We are grateful for the year and for everyone who's here.

Snowflakes falling, candles glow, warm and cosy, cheeks aglow. For this meal and for this night, thank you — and enjoy your bite!

Hungry hikers, home at last, the day was long, the day was vast. Now we rest and fill our plates — the best of trips ends at the table's gates!

Thank you for this food we share, thank you that we're all still there. May we never take for granted all the good that life has planted.
