Grumble Tummy

Don't know if you've ever had this affliction This affliction called Grumble Tummy Sometimes quite humorous how it vocalizes With some very strange sounds quite funny Haven't got a clue what's going on down there Thought it might be constructing a dam In an attempt to divert some stuff it's not fond of Like beets and brussels sprouts from a can Don't think it appreciates processing that stuff Would rather have ice cream and pop Guess it's not wild bout my changing lifestyle It moans and grumbles nonstop Told my tummy you better get used to it It's what you can expect from now on Asked to keep the grumbling down to a roar But it's allowed from bedtime till dawn © Jack Ellison 2013

My whole system is kind of out of whack with this lifestyle change I'm on! Guess it'll settle down eventually eh! Just as I'm typing this, I'm hearing more strange sounds from down below! LOL xoxox

LOL Strawberries don't have many calories BUT the cream/milk and SUGAR are killers! Ask me, I'm an expert on this kind of stuff! Cheers, Jack

ha ha ha, this is a hilarious write my friend, I loved how you portrayed your stomach as a noise machine, very ingenious if you ask me...oh and by the way, mine does that too, I think it's all the junk food I eat however, not the good stuff...oops, I know I know, that's bad, but I can't help a good bowl of strawberries...with a ton of sugar on top! I really enjoyed your tremendous poem here jack, such a great piece, Awesome Work!!
