Alleviating Hunger

When feeding a family of four

From  a 16-inch terrarium

The secret is to eat less, not more

Or build a seafood aquarium

Hi Carolyn--I am still trying to wrap my brain around this grook-- trying to do a bit of research and reading grooks like yours does seem to help me grasp it more-- interesting write you have here, very clever, eating less-- hopefully I can come up with something for this contest... nikko :)

I had a different rhyming version of my Grook. And as I've viewed most eveyone has too. I may go back and change mine. This one is quite cool. Good luck. Agape, Moses
