The Goddess Appetitey

The goddess Appetitey, a figure I have known The mirror makes it all so clear just look at how I’ve grown Yes, Appetitey is a joy when she comes around With her songs in Menu form resistance can’t found She always seems to know just what I love to eat Burgers, tacos, fish and chips and always something sweet The goddess Appetitey not really known to all She’s the reason diet’s fail why we drop the ball Her sister of Greek myth the one of lust and love Banned her from the heavens yet she is still above So when you feel the urges to stuff your face with pie Just go and give the finger right up to the sky Pronunciation: App-a-Ty-tee Her lusty sister Af-ra-Dy-tee

Something about the covid lockdown made Appetitey think she could take up permanent residence in my home... I've been trying to write her a "Dear John" letter. Love your imagination and whimsy in this... I can SO relate... still smiling at "With her songs in Menu form". Great writing, Mike ~ John
