I eat all of my dinner for you
Every pea and every carrot
Dirty gravy clots
And all of hat cheap meat
My spoon bangs into crust and to plate
My place-mat fits my nasty place well
You have seen me eat it all up
And I hold it all in so well
Seeing your hunger in me, your pupil
My indigestion cripples me daily
Oblivious to bowel or intestine
You only see the mouth
Every mealtime is just a lesson
The dining room is just your classroom
The dinner table is your blackboard
And the cheese is chalk
I have no special dietary requirements
I will eat meat and I will eat gluten
As prescribed
By various ancient religious testaments
I loudly belch and laugh
" Bring me more fish! I have a hole!"
In sailor clothes I jig for you
In McDonalds, Burger King and KFC
I buckle with the weight
Of what's on my plate
But I'll find room for afters...
