Food for Thought
On the first day I ate an Alligator
It went down with a snap
I licked my lips to savour the taste
And gave my belly a slap
On the second day I ate a Bear
It was very fat to swallow
The fur sort of tickled as it went down
But it filled a gap that was hollow
On the third day I ate a Cobra
A slippery, hissing snake
It ended up in coils inside me
The indigestion kept me awake
On the fourth day I ate a Donkey
Its hooves was hard to chew
But down it went without a care
The next day would be off to the zoo
On the fifth day I ate an Elephant
Trunk to tail it was bigger than a shed
I swallowed it down with a sip of drink
For some time after I had to lie in my bed
On the sixth day I ate a Frog
It went down with a hop, skip and jump
It made me cough I began to choke
So some kind soul gave my back a thump
On the seventh day I fasted
And gave my tummy a rest
It was something I felt I had to do
As I contemplated which had tasted the best?
On the eighth day...
I decided to become a vegetarian
