Another challenging poetry challenge from @Jessicalynnt This time the five key words are meal, breakfast, fast, eggs, bacon.
Some Time After Feeding Time
He thinks he is wasting away fast.
Minutes after his breakfast repast
He longs for another meal
He imagines he can feel
His ribs under the blubber
His tongue feels like its turned to rubber
He wants my bacon and eggs
But no matter how much my dog begs
Like this I don’t throw him a single scrap
Eventually he sulks and takes a nap
He’ll start making the same din
The next time he finishes off his tin
Of dog food – If I carried on like that you’d think I was terribly rude.
