Too much food on my plate
oh, this buffet of conflicting choices
heaped on by well-meaning people
alright, so greed got the better of me
still, too much food on my plate
variety to suit my palate
sweet, salty, juicy, sour
tidbits and some just desserts
it's just too much food on my plate
like a cow, i graze the field
pushed it round with my fork
but the amount stays the same!
still, to much food on my plate!
still, to much food on my plate!
pausing momentarily to pick
a morsel i nibble
i spit it out, revolted by the taste
sour bile rise now in my throat
darn, this food on my plate!
sweet water i pour
quelling the rise of indignation
i swallow it because
it's my fault, i've got too much food on my plate
