Baby was born hungry
so he ate his mother, chomp!
Then he ate all the animals
and all the trees and
all the mountains, guzzle!
Then he drank all the rivers dry
He ate all the fish in all the seas
all the way to foriegn lands
and ate all their children, crunch! munch!
leaving the tiny bones
sticking up out of the landfill
Then Baby cried, cried
because he was still hungry
and all the world was bare
Until he looked up to the sky
and saw, he wasn't so alone, gurgle!
Then he tottered up on his baby legs
and feasted on the moon

and some kids don't even finish their breakfast. Nice one.

Hi shoe, this was humorously surreal (to me, anyway) and I loved it!

Hmm all could have been solved if he was born to my mother.
Fun poem, made me smile and wished it went on a bit longer.. There is a whole universe out there for him to feed on!
