An ode to hunger
There is hunger in my tummy!
There is hunger in my tummy and it’s doing a dance!
It’s yelling that it’s hungry and it doesn’t want plants!
Meat! it’s screaming and it wants its meat now!
But I have lesson in ten minutes so how! So how!
There is hunger in my tummy and it won’t be appeased!
It wants a chunk of meat that’s oily and greased!
But my students are a-calling and I do not have time!
Not feeding hungry tummy could be considered a crime!
It’s a sentence that I’ll suffer because I have to go teach!
While the hunger sucks at tummy like a greedy old leech!
Feed me! cries the hunger. Not now! sez I!
We’ll have Botak Jones lamb chops in a twinkling of an eye!
Just wait, I says to tummy, after class we’ll get to eat!
Rest assured it’ll be a chunk of greasy oily meat!
