Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Stuffing Your Face

Is there any finer sensation
Than chomping on a juicy steak
Gulping down a gallon of beer
Or stuffing your face with cake

Eating can be the greatest thrill
Known to the common man
It beats every other sensation
Experienced since time began

A bowl of chocolate ice cream
Some hotcakes piled high
Scrambled eggs with sausages
Delicious homemade pie

Grilled hot dogs on the barbie
Ham sandwiches at the beach
A birthday party for Johnny
A great big juicy peach

All these things go to make
A bowl full of happiness
The only drawback I can see
It can turn into flabbiness
