you’re thus truncated your only perk.
But resolve to eat should you have to
when laying futile eggs got to be untrue!
Nothing can give you half as respite
as for consumption is your birth right!
Hello, eating heavy can turn you
into a lazy scum of a fellow.
Deep in the recesses of your mind
lies the plan for an impending grind.
So when in an embrace of your goodness being
rises late in the morrow your starving spleen.
Not even a moment’s absence has been
to slurp off the plates sparkling clean.
When food was hard to find; a few more
songs were sung as sustainable food
wasn’t enough to wishfully endure
food, dollops of food, or heavy gravy food;
Eating is anyway very very good!
Tummy’s growing on folklore;
Showing us as big a tumbling boar!
Not all have the capacity
for eating like a lost soul…
Not many have a tummy to lure
all heavy, gravy, levy core!
A plate of dal, rasam, and rice;
curd, poppadums, and French fries.
Lo! What could possibly be right
in eating less and spending light?
Many eat to greet good health;
to unwind knots of possible wealth.
Each compelling drink may sink within
the bonnet far below your chin
Because of your capable heart of wonder
never ate a thing to blunder!
So why are you chickening out
of this place of jolly good food?
You’ll have to give in to the taste
of it all, and possibly turnabout,
till the cows come home dude!
Up above the canteen not so high
like a banquet of food in the sky!
