All in a day’s munch

Who said 

I’d bitten off

more than I 

could chew?

I was hungry!

I was involved 

in the seven deadly sins

Gluttony!

Like I said 

I was hungry!

In fact,

I was starving

Famished!

And after all

life was an appetite .

Anyway, I’m full now

but not satisfied

for I see, I want.

and I’m reminded

what you see,

you can’t have.

Did you hear that?

My stomach is rumbling

the urge is coming

to eat and eat more.

For my eyes are

bigger than my stomach

and she’s the apple

of my eye.

"Life was an appetite"---great line.
reminds me of me. Retired, still doing some teaching, still writing...but there is something more...
something for which I am still starving.
