Betty Rosetti
Betty Rosetti has hair like spaghetti,
Spaghetti on top of her head.
Betty Rosetti has hair like spaghetti,
It’s curly and swirly and red.
Betty Rosetti has hair like spaghetti,
She never eats out anywhere.
Betty Rosetti has hair like spaghetti,
She’s scared that they’ll eat up her hair!

From Don't Play with Your Food
Hotdogs strut, fishes fret, and celery runs amok in this playful collection of food related poems for children (and adults with childlike tendencies.) From the perils of life in a salad bowl to spicy dances behind cupboard doors, Brian Rock and John Moerner lead a poetic and playfully picturesque romp through the secret life of food.
