Hungry

“I’m hungry…
Hungry! What’s to eat!”
My brother Jack he likes to bleat.
“I’m hungry..!
HUNGRY!!
Give me food!”.
My brother Jack is often rude!

So
I made him a sandwich, two feet high.
I had to try to stop his cry.
I made it full of cheddar cheese
With artichokes and anchovies.
I made it full of hunks of ham
And mighty dollops of strawberry jam.
I wrapped it up in a loaf of bread.

Can you believe what Jack then said?

“I’m hungry…
Hungry! That’s not enough!”.
Jack you see was just not stuffed.
“I’m hungry
HUNGRY
Give me more!”
My brother Jack began to roar!

So I made him a sandwich, four feet high.
You do agree I had to try!
I stuffed it full of chips and steak
with chocolate-covered Christmas cake.
I stuffed it full of eggs and beans
With hoola-hoops and four ice creams.
I wrapped it up in a loaf of bread.

Can you believe what Jack then said?

“I’m hungry
Hungry…!
What’s for lunch!
I really need to have a munch.
I’m hungry
HUNGRY
GIVE ME GRUB!
I’d even eat a plate of slugs!”

So I made him a sandwich, eight feet high.
He had it coming, by the by.
I rammed it full of bits of bikes,
Some ancient snot, a broken kite.
Rammed it full with Grandma’s bed,
And something nasty from the shed,
Rammed it full with a Blackpool tram
and six unopened crates of spam,
Rammed it full with a Great White Shark
and a miniature bust of J. S. Bach.

I wrapped it up in a loaf of bread.

Can you believe what Jack then said?

“Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….!”

At last our Jack was finally full
And he headed out to play at school!
