The Big Bloat

The Big Bloat

It’s Not as easy 
As you know
Food is legal 
And can get
It to go
I find myself
In the same 
Bloat
We eat when 
Hungry
Or in a
Deep mote 
But...
As hard 
As it is 
To dig out
The rut
We all can 
Do it
And have
A good
Gut

I started out just responding to her comment with a bit of camaraderie and encouragement, as you see...my inner poet took over
