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

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
