Maybe I

Am

Hungry...

Maybe I

Am

Anxious...

My stomach

Is

Turning

In

Circles...

Man what

Is

He

Cooking?

Having

Patience

Is like

Holding

Your

Pee...

It could

Only work

For so long...

I peered

Around the

Corner,

My eyes

Scattered

The

Whole

Kitchen...

I smelled Seasons

I think I have seen chickens...

I clutched my

Stomach

From the

Hunger

Created from

The

Delicious redolence...

I Smell

Biscuits

Or maybe

Fish sticks...

I Love

Peanut Butter

And

Jelly...

Although

It doesn't

Make

Me Full

It

Just Tastes

Yummy πŸ˜‹

I ran out of my

Bedroom

And

Down the

Hall...

But behind

His back

I could

See

Nothing

At All...

Mama sent

Me back

To my

Room...

She said when Dinner

Is Ready,

Dad will give me

A Holler!

But All

I really wanted

To know

Is

What was He Cooking?

    I love this so much! A humorous poem about longing - and I love the reference to pee... :)
