Food

Written in 2012 as a high school senior

There are certain things in this world

That make me feel like the luckiest girl

They can make any hardship a lot easier

If you want to render it enjoyable, make it cheesier

It comes from any country around this earth

We've been enjoying it since well before birth

It makes you feel content and full

Add spices to prevent it from being dull

Prepare it in large groups or prepare it alone

Or order it from a restaurant or via the phone

Chew it up and spit it out if it's really bad

Poorly-made meals can make any hungry person mad

But if it's good your stomach will know it

And extremely pleased will be this poet

You need it every six hours to stay alive

Seems like I will die if I don't eat in five

Sometimes people enjoy eating way too much

Because they get fat and heart attacks and such

All in all, food is my best friend

Don't ask me to share, I will not lend
