The Glutton
Stomach is tagged with an oversized brand
sipping a heap of food like glass of coke
eats all on plate even rice mixed with sand
eyes, instincts and appetite face the poke
hungry or not, it is meal perversion
eating as great longing exhibits rage
obesity’s client of perfection
even if not yet at the defined stage
wet teeth always sharper than any rake
if the food was living, it’ll feel abused
the stomach quickly empties and breaks
so that the next meal cannot be refused
after an eat, the plate served need no rinse
to eaters of quantity, he’s their prince.
