murder

i have killed my usually insatiable appetite
with nothing but a granola bar and a cup of coffee.

alas! alack!

it's a shame. a crying shame. so close to lunchtime and all.

i don't want a pizza
i don't want a piece of peanut brittle
i don't want a pear
i don't want a bagel
i don't want a bean
wouldn't like a bag of beef
or a beer
or a cup of chowder
corn
cake
or cream of cauliflower
'cause i'm waiting for the dinner bell
to do the bell thing
dinner bell, dinner bell
ring
