Fizzy soda
dark brown cola
with bubbles
trying to escape
from each sip I take.

Pepperoni please,
does that have gooey
extra cheese and olives?
I'll take two slices,
thank you very much.

And one large handful
of crispy, golden,
salty French fries.
Ouch! They're hot,
aren't they?

Green beans? No thanks,
none for me right now.
Tossed salad? I had some
yesterday. Broccoli?
I couldn't possibly,
I'm getting full.

Ice cream?
Did you say ice cream?
Yes, I think
I have some room.
