The feelings of the hungry student... |
As the dawn gets nearer and nearer My stomach screams really loud and clear: 'Feed me child, and feed me fast There is no more time, you've had enough rest!' As I scratch my eyes and sleepily yawn, My stomach growls: Get up, it's dawn! And without any protest I listen, I obey, 'Yes master I will eat the hunger away!' I step in the kitchen, the tiles are cold, Wtf was that? I pick my foot up: Yuck, that looks old! How long it has been there, I cannot say, But it was once food, and now it has to be thrown away! I should have eaten it while it was still good, Have I not heard of the 5 second rule! And now I stand here, in a very bad mood, One man's trash was once his jewel! I open the fridge, frown and then close the damn door! Wait, hold on, was that leftover food from before? The light goes on again and I stare and I hope, Oh wait that's my roommate's! That's not mine, nope! Oh shut up, stop growling...Well fine I shall cook! If my mom were here now, I could be reading a book. I turn around, only to find everything in the sink, Now I have to do the dishes too! Oh man how they stink! I dry my hands and take out all the food I got, Jesus Christ, I have to fry eggs in a pot! What the hell? I have no more cheese, Maybe I'll just add extra salt on these! And my bread is frozen? Oh, give me a break, I'd try and toast it, but I don't have in what to bake! My plate looks awful, half empty, half sad, It's a disgrace compared to the meals I once had! Oh how I lust for those long lost days, I close my eyes and I see food on trays! Lots and lots, and it is all mine, Oh well at least I know of such times. So I can dream and remember that wonderful taste, My alternative of sugar, is now tooth paste! I guess I can take some water and flavor it, Some like to drink their coffee, I tend to savor it! I take a sip and hear a weird sound, What is wrong with you, why are you being loud? Stop it I beg of you, I just ate! Stop growling, stop! Close that gate! What do you mean it wasn't enough? Please, you're making this tough? I can hear it saying, it still wants me to eat: 'I know you just ate, but you didn't have any sweets!' |
