Thanks for that, Elffin!
When you eat your dinner
Or even a snack
Your body is ready
To give something back
Because food is our fuel
It’s an energy source
Like a car uses petrol
And pumps out exhaust.
We’re a little like cars
But it takes a bit longer
And the bits that we need
Make our bodies get stronger
And the bits that we don’t
Have to come out as poo
But dividing it up
Isn’t easy to do.
When we split up the fuel
From the stuff we don’t need
We produce lots of gas
Very smelly indeed!
When a fart in your tummy
Comes out of your bum
It’s your body just saying
“Thank you!” and “yum yum!”
