Beastly Appetites

Suffering from his excessive beastly appetites in life,
a man in desperation turned towards them and asked:

" Why, you insatiable appetites, don't ease your 
excruciating demands for a moment so my soul,
at last, peace to find?"

Surprised by the question, his beastly appetites angrily replied:

" Why are you complaining, silly man, when you know very well
that it was you who nurtured us into maturity by satisfying our 
every single demand?"
