A Man Hunger Has Been Kicking

He is an occupant of a room damp
And dependent on a rejected lamp:
The worst so far in their camp …

A room often not illuminated
But in it plants still germinated,
Selecting peeping spots in a cemented floor,
Daringly doing so back to the room’s door.

The room’s nearest neighbor a smelly dump,
To many microbes their Releasing Pump
And, sure, the cause of The Man’s mumps 
And as possibly his torturing lumps: 
A man Hunger has been kicking his rump
And readying for a final slump …

But wither did The Man this foulness pick
And could Hunger make one licked plates still lick?

Nothing like an answer from Interviewed Nick
And rather a rude one from Starving Dick.
