For the Stomach.
"The Vulture" by Hilaire Belloc
The Vulture eats between his meals,
And that's the reason why
He very, very rarely feels
As well as you or I.
His eye is dull, his head is bald,
His neck is growing thinner.
Oh, what a lesson for us all
To only eat at dinner.
This is a lesson I need to learn. I snack. All the time. In truth, my only consolation here comes from the fact that the vulture is a male. Besides, I think this vulture looks quite content. Well, I cordially invite you all to sit and contemplate your own eating habits as I go get my butterscotch pudding out of the fridge. And I think I will enjoy it.
