MIdnight In the Kitchen of Good and Evil

The idea of this challenge is to substitute words of our own into the well-known titles of novels or movies.  My title is: Midnight in the Kitchen of Good and Evil....then write a poem to follow it.

Thou shouldst eat to live, not live to eat. ~Cicero


It is midnight and I have opened the fridge in search of something more to eat.
but I don't want an apple or carrots...what I WANT is something SWEET!
Don't make me eat a veggie salad, or low fat turkey on rye.
Let me have a desert with ice cream and apple pie!
I probably am not truly hungry, I just always want more in my gut!
If my stomach was a woman, it would be no lady but an evil slut.
I had breakfast lunch and dinner...heck I even had a snack, 
but I still want something later that is tasty, and full of fat!



I am not a glutton — I am an explorer of food. ~Erma Bombeck

  3. Who wouldn't relate? (We poets are such sensualists, lol.) I adore above all the line: 'If my stomach was a woman, it would be no lady but an evil slut'.

  6. That slut!! I'm so familiar with her...I've silenced my inner food-slut-woman...fasting and food planning for the last three weeks...it's good to know my belly isn't the only one that craves "sweet." Excellent write!
