I'm hungry, so I think I'll take
a bite or two of lunch;
a pizza and a chocolate cake,
some peanut butter crunch,
a healthy slice of apple pie,
a pound or so of ham,
a stack of waffle (two feet high)
with boysenberry jam.
I'll follow with a dozen eggs
(I'll scramble them I guess)
six or seven turkey legs
(I could not do with less)
some rhino roast and hippo stew
and fresh fillet of horse,
then wait a minute (maybe two)
and start the second course.
