An ode to hunger

I’m really hungry. I gotta eat, it’s time to eat.

Running around all over town just to find some eat.

My attitude is food, if I don’t have it I get rude.

It’ll all go away once I’m consuming some food.

Had a little once before, but now I need more.

Mobility for groceries, so now I’ll head to the store.

They say this is what happens whenever hunger hits you.

So now I’m looking for something that I can sink my teeth into.

Truly famished and now my stomach is going under.

Give me some food so I can satisfy my hunger.
