First-Timer

Our daughter bawls like a calf in clover
If her mother serves anything warmed over.
When she’s acquired her own small brood
Will she still kick about second-time food,
Or, when kitchen sweat on her forehead glistens,
Will HER tots squawk the while SHE listens?
It seems to be true, regarding eating,
That history WON’T stand re-heating!
