I'm Hungry - A poem to set the mood!

I'm hungry...so I think I'll take a bite or two of lunch;

Pizza and a chocolate cake, some peanut butter crunch,

A health slice of apple pie, a pound or so of ham,

A stack of waffle - two feet high! - with boysenberry jam!

I'll follow with a dozen eggs.. I'll scramble them... I guess,

Six or seven turkey legs.. I could not do with less!

Some rhino roast, and hippo stew, and fresh fillet of horse,

Then wait a minute... maybe two...

And start the second course!

    1. Thank you for this. I memorized this in the 4th grade in 1983 and never forgot it but was always worried I may have missed or forgot a verse. Turns out I didn’t, I’m at peace now.
