My LunchA Poem by Brenden MoranI sat down with my bag of chips And brought them up to my lips I cherished the delicious flavors That my tongue brought me to savor I felt the sweet saltiness of its taste And the barbeque twang was interlaced I swallowed the mush of its zesty crunch And looked down at the rest of my lunch There was a sandwich laying in my brown bag In the middle of the pb and j there lay a flag I brought the mushy sandwich up for a bite But a dripping blob of jelly caught my sight I stuck out my tongue and had a lick And then relished the gooyness for a bit When this was done, I was of immense thirst But my discovery found my juice box burst I let out a curse and found my pretzels soaked And the smell that came out caused me to choke I threw this in the cafeteria trash and got my fruit Little green grapes that were plenteous and minute I popped them into my mouth in sequential order Once finished I remembered my bag's disorder This disappointment was just too hard for me So I picked up my container and threw it at a tree Out spilled fine looking, soft green pickles And I cried at the thought of my emotions so fickle Some stared, others walk away, but I had fruit snacks I took them out and leaned against the tree to relax Placing them in order of color and deliciousness I began I looked at each pile and then laid out my game plan First green, no purple, then green, then red Then yellow, then orange, then blue I said I placed each carefully inside my mouth, to prolong the taste Once done I hurried over to my bag with haste Alas the final item of my lunch was untouched I picked it up and into my hands it was clutched It was a little sticky so this quite an awkward scene But inside the wrapping my little brownie was clean I placed the brown delight inside my mouth wide open And the taste of this brown beauty left me in awe, outspoken Tears formed down my face as I felt it go down my throat And at this moment my heaping stomach began to bloat I ran to the bathroom crying many tears down my cheeks And ran into a few people letting out pitiful shrieks For I knew the sad, sad truth that was my poor plea It would be a whole day until another lunch would satisfy me © 2012 Brenden MoranAuthor's Note
