Would You Like An Appetizer

Voices swarming from a room
High pitched and with synchronicity they loom

Constantly overwhelmed, I sit here and stew
Thank god for this hoppy brew

Stepping outside I beg for peace
White smoke rises as I inhale and release

Waving goodbye is the sun
Behind the mountain top she runs

Everyone here grab a spoon
Revealed my punchline will be here soon

The episode is over so now they go
Down our driveway covered in snow

Now I can concentrate with appropriate ease
Challenging your appetite I begin to tease

We are all hungry here in this group
So I serve you my heart with poetry soup.
