Eating the Forests

Ethiopia was easy to chew right through African jungles taste delicious yum Biodiversity treasure-troves devoured No splintered aftertaste or toothpicks left Eating Australia was a challenge Don't want to hurt no kangaroos I wish I had a bigger mouth for Europe To cover bushes and lumber in one chomp Rain in South America is like salad dressing Makes me famished as trees vanish one by one Canopy after canopy drop This place is too alien for me Sand has always been my favorite snack I'm moving on to dryer spots When I finish with this world real soon It's off to other planets to consume
