Tuesday

The chewing gum tastes nice
and juicy at first,
I chewed so much that my
belly was expecting a feast
but there was nothing to digest.
My stomach waited so patiently
making my hunger worse,
after a while the chewing gum
lost taste,
so I stopped chewing and asked myself,
can a piece of gum replace
a plate of food?
It was then that I stopped
fooling myself and spat
the gum out of my mouth.
