Sensory Diets are Fun

by: Chaya Tavin

Sensory diets are fun!

Let's start out the day with a run

After some hours, just two

Let's have something gooey to chew

Deep pressure? Let's have a massage

Or perhaps just clean out the garage

Ask the teacher to send you upstairs

And remove all the tables and chairs

Look, this is something so nice

Bumpy food with a touch of some spice

If you brush with what makes those vibrations

From us you'll receive adulations

It's time to take out finger paint

Uh-oh he's going to faint

I was sure that this clay he would touch

But I guess that was asking too much

How many times can you jump

Before you collapse in a hump?

Here's fabric that you should be feeling

Oh dear, he just climbed to the ceiling

I offered a new different food

Which seemed to have ruined his mood

The others all love shaving cream

But he just reacts with a scream

Get him to stay in his seat?

I think I'm admitting defeat

By the end of the day I want quiet

I'm allergic to sensory diet
