EDIBLE COMPLEX

Everything's enhanced by food:

So observers might conclude

Watching people on the go

Bolting stuff wrapped up in dough–

Walking, talking, at a show,

Listening to the radio,

Glued to cable's status quo,

Waiting to see a medico,

Wondering–snackless!–how to bear

Sitting in the dentist's chair.

Nothing seems at all complete

If they lack a bite to eat.

See them on the subway train

Sucking on a candy cane;

On a line outside the opera

Munching on a mutton chopra;

At the airport, set to board,

Downing Coke they've quickly poured;

Touring Brooklyn's Museum of Art,

Sneaking in a chocolate tart;

Voting in an election booth,

Pushing in a Baby Ruth;

Pacing in the maternity ward,

Spooning out the goo from a gourd;

Christmas shopping, enduring a pitch,

Chewing on a Santawich.

Food–there cannot be too much

When folks lean on an easy crutch.

Anything to them that's edible

Could only improve by being bedible.

Anybody wonder that

People "enhanced" are also fat?

I'm no better, for goodness'
sake:

Penning this, I'm munching on cake.
