The All Earth 24 7 Buffet

The All Earth 24/7 Buffet
David J Walker

And on the 8th day
		God said
LET’S EAT 
And eat we did
	Chomping and whirling 
and chasing 
      and spitting 
                 and hitting
and catching and killing and
		cleaning and cooking
                              boiling and foiling 

 in tin turtles over a flaming-out fire

lest eat 
	lets eat
		letzzzzzzzz EAT
All day
	Everyday

and  it came to pass
	we grew fat on each other
belching in out guilty pleasures
                     pleasing
	                      and sleeping
		                        and procreating 
replenishing  the Earth  

fearing 

that we may never eat again
And God said
	IT IS GOOD

And it came to pass
	That it was good 
and good as gone
