The bread and wine were good but I wanted a wee bit more
so I had some cake and ice cream, root beer, bananas, and fudge.
Not quite satisfied, I cleaned out the frig and cupboards,
then ate the table and chairs, the sofa and the bed,
the house and the garage. They were good,
but I wanted a wee bit more
so I ate Cleveland and most of California,
Cyprus, Turkey, and Greece,
the Horn of Africa, the boot of Italy,
and a slice of Siam.
They were good,
but I still want
a wee bit more.
Lord, may I have
a taste of the
moon?
