  37. Entry 1 Theme: Food (Cont’d) Salt, mustard, vinegar, pepper, French almond rock.. Bread and butter for your supper, That’s all mother’s got. Eggs and bacon, salted herring, Put them in a pot. Pickled onions, apple pudding, We will eat a lot.

  38. What’s the problem with Entry 1? Ans: Lack originality/plagiarism. This poem has been published. Student probably has just downloaded it from the internet and made slight amendment.
