Poetry Thursday

 

 My friends Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetatonhave provided the picture below to inspire our poetry

Chip was the United States eating champ

He could put away ten pounds of food than swim with a cramp

He was so famous he was on both a postal and food camp

For a new challenge from the States he must decamp

*

In Germany he ate five pounds of Brautwurst

And though his intestines would burst

In an English town called Worster

He ate Stoat Pies until he had to ask where the bathrooms were at

**

In Scotland he won a contest eating corn

In Switzerland he ate a sheep, even the horn

He was thrown a parade, not bad for a foreign born

And claimed in the woods he ran down and ate a unicorn

***

It was all leading up to the greatest challenge in the country beyond the wall

A place where many visiting eater did fall

So he announced in his southern drawl

That he would take part in Bejing’s famous All You Can Eat Brawl

****

Chip arrived at the contests and there was more food than he had ever seen

There was fish, steak and six kinds of beans

There was pork, chicken, and prime beef cooked lean

And a huge pot of coffee for little needed caffiene

*****

The home town rooters didn’t think Chip had a chance

And he needed a bigger pair of pants

But Chip had a plan in advance

He ate, then stopped and went into a five minute trance

*******

Soon Chip was the only one eating have outlasted the other men

And finished the last dish, chicken with cayman

After winning the competition Chip was asked about his strategy and to explain

And Chip said he had remembered no matter how much Chinese food he agreed in five minutes he would be hungry again.
