When Pizza Contracts Earth

What happened at dinner tonight

It was a chilly evening on a Thursday so clear,

And I was dining at hope where none should fear.

My stomach growled for sustenance to be served,

With a few quick steps I got my food rightly deserved.

A pizza so cold from the freezer so high,

It had to be cooked so my stomach could fly.

After waiting a bit my food was soon ready,

And with it I got a slice both warm and steady.

So scrumptious and cheesy it made me weep,

But not because this dish was so cheap.

Upon sinking my teeth into that first big bite,

I soon got caught in a terrible fright.

What went into my mouth didn't just come with a box,

It had come with an infestation of tiny rocks.

Luckily I didn't break a single tooth,

But with it came the realization of a terrifying truth.

All meals can potentially conceal hidden dangers,

Like a bar who lets in all the strangers.

True story that came to fruition just 30 minutes before this.
