It's Food That I Desire

IT'S FOOD THAT I DESIRE

My peckish belly crumbles thunder loud 
As I smell yummy Beef Wellington  
Oven-fresh serve in silver plate 
In my hand a knife and fork 
I slice the whole in halves 
Scent satiates more 
Tempting! Tickling
my white teeth
to bite.
BITE!
I
Slowly
Savor each
and every bite.
Juices spilling fast.
Homing my hungry mouth.
Silencing my mad stomach.
Done and full, I burp not just once.
"Gracias!" I said, appreciating the food.
Wanting to know and try it too someday...
