Read together
Pasta, pasta, oh how yummy,
Long and thin, it's never crummy,
Cooked just right, it's quite a sight,
To twirl it up, and take a bite.
But sometimes, we like it wide,
Like a blanket we can hide,
Underneath a sauce so bold,
It warms us up, and never gets old.
Curly pasta's lots of fun,
It dances on our tongue,
With twists and turns, it's such a treat,
We can't resist its curly feat.
And short pasta, it's so cute,
We just can't give it the boot,
In every shape, and every size,
Pasta's always a surprise.
So next time you sit down to eat,
Remember all the pasta treats,
Long or short, thin or wide,
It's always a tasty ride.
