The democracy was evenly split, but all four humans swung towards Pizza.

Frozen Pizza or
Frozen Spanakopita?
(to accompany congee for dinner)

We couldn’t decide, so we asked the kids.
They couldn’t decide either, so they called an election.

Cut out forty-five little squares.
On each square she drew two boxes with “S” and “P”.
They converted an empty kleenex box into a ballot box.

The stuffed animals lined up to vote.
They polled the transformers downstairs.

25 for Pizza.
21 for Spanakopita.

Pizza for dinner.
