Nadia's Winning Poem

Pine, Palm, Maple, Beech Are Growing in Your Eaten Peach
What should you do when your milk goes sour? Or even if it’s pies? Fling them in the compost with great power But now you’ve got potato eyes!
If your eggs or cheese should spoil They’ll make a rotten smell Toss them in, they’ll turn to soil Your plants will think that’s swell!
Throw your food from yesterday In the bin, it’s there to stay Banana peels Will feel like eels Soon your food has gone away.
It could start out as burned up toast But in the end its rich compost!
