Too Much Sugar!
There once was a little possum named Piper
She loved everything sweet
But to much sugar made her hyper
She’d jump and climb and shout and run
But only minutes later her fun was done
Her belly would twist and turn
Her eyes were sleepy and blurred
Mommy and daddy were worried about her.
Luckily they knew what to do
And showed little Piper their super food

Super Food!
Red and orange, purple and blue
Yellow, green and white too
Piper didn’t know what to do
Mommy and daddy smiled and said
“These foods have super powers and feed our head”
Red fruits and veggies are good for your heart
And the orange foods help you see in the dark!
Yellow foods give you glowing skin
And help you heal when you scrape your shin
Greens are good when you’re feeling yucky
They’ll clear up your nose when it gets stuffy
Don’t forget about purples and blues
They keep your brain sharp and your skin strong too
Whites give you energy to play
And leave you feeling strong at the end of the day

Food Rainbow!
Put them all together now
What do you see?
A beautiful rainbow ready to eat
Piper was excited because she knew
She would have superpowers after dinner was through
She opened wide and took a bite
“Mmmm yummy! You were right!”
Piper ran faster through every door
Thanks to the strawberries she had before
In the darkness she did not get a fright
Because the carrots she ate helped her see at night
She jumped from the bed and scraped her knee
But the bananas she loved made it heal with ease
When she got coughy and sneezey and felt icky
Eating spinach and broccoli made her feel less sickly
In her school she was the top of her class
Blueberries and eggplant helped her finish her work fast
In every foot race Piper had won
Thanks to the powers of mushroom, cauliflower and onions

I'm a Super Hero!
Piper felt strong, proud and bright
Eating the rainbow was a good choice alright
So now my friends you know what to do
If you want to have superpowers too
Eat the rainbow and try new foods
And maybe one day you’ll be a super hero too
