Picky Eater Hugh
I do not like peanut butter, potatoes, cheese or chocolate said Hugh
To other foods I suggested, he rapidly replied “ooooh”.
I could tell by face, they were not a favorite in any way.
This was an eye-opener for me, his grandma, this day.
He was supposed to stay with us a week what could I do?
No foods in

God is a sweet eater
God would eat giant marshmallows the size of mountains, I think.
He would turn up his nose at leftovers thrown down the sink.
Lollipops and popsicles would be easy for him to reach.
Lined up in his bedroom, next to his pet llama, Screech.
God would devour tuna and salmon, but leave beef to us.
Red meat is a killer,

Man Eater, LOOK OUT A song
[Instrumental solo]
[Intro][Female Vocals]
I am a man eater
free to admit
I do it piece by piece till you submit
I start out with wit
and I follow on with my sexy bits

I can get you going

white knuckle time to dread!

My god she is smokin
You want

Soul Eater
Soul Eater
The concept of the soul was intangible and distant.
Faith and belief all that gave it substance,
weak and watery as it was. Until that wretched day…
I hurt, I ached, in a before unfelt place deep within. My physical being was effected but

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater - the rest of the story
(Alternative Ending for Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater)
Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater.
Do you think he kept his wife so well
by putting her inside a pumpkin shell?
Inside that shell she had no room
to move around. A rotten groom
was Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater.
In the end, his wife could not be found
by friends or family. He’d thrown away the key,
and

Word Eater
Self-assertion blatant, repelling babble exuberant, closing floodgates you eschew, none fooled by you.
you speak,
winds shriek,
shout loud,
feel proud,
you brag
self tag,
your lies
none buys,
voice lone,
place shown,
musk breaks,
face wrecks,
mouth shut,
stops glut.
You blurt garbage dirt, off your guard, torn to shard, do a volte-face, eat words in disgrace.

An Emotional Eater
I ate because I was bored.
A bunch of meats, none tasty enough.
I gulped down caramel popcorn.
Unsatisfied, I looked for something sweet.
I ate because I was disappointed.
Three kinds of cheeses – jalapeno, cheddar and pepper jack.
I felt stuffed for about an hour, then I sought something chocolate.
A Milk Way bar did not cut it.
I ate because

The Man Eater
Tongues twist,words roll;
Friends and family wonder;
What it is,that has eaten me up!
I'll not tell them anything,
I'll let them think and think-
Till they feel they have the answer.
Whatever is consuming my flesh,
Hasn't reached my soul,
They don't have to worry.
This,that feasts on my blood,
Hasn't gotten to my bone marrow,
I'm still meeting new days.
But,reality is;
When I look at

Sweet Eater
Sweet Eater was pink from the inside out.
We saw her coming and we all gave a shout.
She had a sweet disposition she never did pout.
But she ate our pantries and our kitchens out.
She devoured cookies, she devoured bread.
Her cheeks got pink and her teeth got red.
She slurped up frosting, and she ate our cheese.
She could

The Soul Eater
The Soul Eater
Has a very deep voice; he
gurgles and gargles, and
he call out names and eats
them up. He belches and fumes
And has a great
sense of direction; he knows
which way is up. Yet all
he really wants
is to be
admired.

An Iowan Takes On a Nebraskan Beef Eater
I will have my steak gruesomely rare.
Eating mine with Heinz 57 flare.
I am from I-O-WAY
I do not play.
I can eat a cow, a horse and a mare.
I am from Nebraska don’t you know?
You Iowans can brag, and you can blow
But here’s my rule
You little fool
I’ll eat whatever does not start to go.

But he stayed single, for it was his “druther”.

I Am An Emotional Eater
I eat sugar and salt, donuts, coffee cake and jalapeno peppers too.
Because these are things a meddling doctor told me not to do.
They are my forbidden foods, so I grab them up in droves.
If I had hot homemade bread, I would devour up those loaves.
I have gained a bunch of weight. Weight I had lost
