Feeding Frenzy

My favorite milkshake, served chilled
  I reach across the table and - it all spilled
                 Mum's not exactly
                        thrilled

     Well, at least the pizza's steaming hot
 I bite right into the center, a tad overwrought
    Water! Water!... I never knew pizza was
                        fraught

           Ah! Dessert is chocolate cake
      I eat way too much - get a bellyache
            My poor stomach's dancing
                   The Shamrock 
                         Shake

Well, you've just made my day, BJ. If I remind you of one of your grandsons, that 'Fountain of Youth' vitamin drink I've been trying must be working major miracles! Smiles, gw

Very interesting write, in beautiful format, Gershon! Biting right into the center of a steaming Pizza can be so very dangerous ..... it will burn the mouth that you will have to starve for days together....! :)

Thank you, Valsa. I'm too old for pizza anyway. Can't digest all that cheese anymore. ~ Stomata non grata
