An Ode to the Glutton

Gluttony, gluttony, oh how we eat

Gorging so much that we can’t see our feet 

Drinks, candy, coffees and cakes—we want more

Then to the doctor we, desp’rate, implore 

Why do we do this vile thing we should not

Claim we the title to what others bought 

Are we so greedy we can’t skip one meal

Lured by our want to the devil’s dark deal

Wanting no waste so we swallow once more 

Then when we wake we don’t fit through the door 

Can we not share all the food we’ve been giv’n

So that our brothers and sisters are liv’n

May we have faith in the promise of God

He meets each need on this path that we trod.
