Beware ...


Blog 171:

Food - want it, don’t want it …
Our stomachs … our bodies desire it
Especially when we are starved, hungry

Mind you, though …
Food could churn upside down your stomach and mine
Until we are wrenched, twisted, tugged or jerked
By one fatal, foreign element lurking
Either in contaminated food and water …
Or soaked - in gas fumes from exhaust … garbage …
Strewn out in the streets
By undisciplined population and careless street vendors -
Anything … everything that goes in the mouth is suspect!
Once bacterium and germ attack the digestive linings or system
Wild tossing, agitating, stirring begins
Until heaving and gagging throw up all ingested victuals
Like an angry volcano spewing lava and molting rock.
Nothing could prepare us from a terrible feeling
Of a stomach turned upside down
We beg for mercy that all unwanted elements
Get out of our system and for it to self-cleanse
Until we feel better once again!

Food – want it, don’t want it …
Our stomachs … our bodies desire it
Especially when we are starved, hungry

Mind you though …
Beware of prowling contagion
That could sicken or slaughter!
