----------------------------------------
In with the edibles,
I'm hungry.
On with the absorbing of the
much-needed nutrition.
"More is just more," as they say,
I'm sure somebody says that.
And it makes sense, in an
upside-down, sideways-sanity way.
More is just more; it's
a beautiful bonus.
Ask the starving kids from
Oliver, who sing "Food, glorious food..."
So I will eat my glorious food,
and worship it, because I am hungry,
and it is glorious,
until a toothpick inserted in the center
of some finger-food prompts me to slow
and watch what I put in my mouth.
