Good Eats

Savory. Succulent. STEAK.

Perfectly Peppered.

MMMM Mac and Cheese.

I want some of that too¾

No. Wait.

My plate’s not complete without a big BUTTERY BAKED POTATO placed proudly next to my Green Beans.

My eyes blur and my hands tremble as I grab my rake and shovel.

Salivary Glands Thicken.

Tongue Moistens.

Destruction . . . COMMENCE!

Gobble.

              Chomp.

                            Sip.

                                   Pause.

                                              Release the throttle.

                                                                               Sip.

                                                                                      Chomp.

                                                                                                  Gobble.

When I woke from my state of unconsciousness,

Plate Empty,

Pants Unbuttoned,

Stomach Swollen,

Belly button peeking arrogantly from beneath my T-shirt,

I perfunctorily BELCHED my thanks to the Chef.

Good Eats.
