Overstuff

Maybe it was that last biscuit layered with butter and jam or could it have been those sodas only around nine cans Never just one bucket of extra crispy southern fried chicken could make you feel bloated and heading to the can Never those mashed potatoes or drinking gravy from a cup probably that single green bean when I knew I had enough Ears and ears of corn so sweet and buttery to the taste curly fries drowned in ketchup smeared all over my face Only a couple wedges of corn bread heavy with butter and that macaroni and cheese just one serving than another Fried okra and cabbage with lots of bacon and diced ham those savory baked beans swimming in molasses man oh man And a pitcher of brewed sweet ice tea with sugar from sugar cane now using artificial sweeteners or corn syrup would be insane And for dessert a hot Dutch apple pie with ice cream a la mode capped off with chocolate syrup mixed in that hot cup of joe Such a light lunch so why do I feel so overstuff that extra large pizza for dinner will just have to be enough.
