Hungry

by Michael Salinger

High Impact Writing Clinics by Sara Holbrook and Michael SalingerI am
Belly grumbling
Lip licking
Refrigerator looking
Tummy aching
Food sniffing
Crumb gathering
Grumpy feeling
Cookie begging
Cake wanting
Donut craving
Ice cream wishing
Candy dishing
Hungry

And can’t you see
I don’t think it’s great
That there is nothing but vegetables
On my plate!
