The burger sizzles on the grill
Alongside peppers and eggplant
Oh I’m so hungry I can’t wait
I want to finish this, but

    You had to eat that Burger, huh? I understand the feeling,
    I could smell the peppers as I read on.

    Sounds delicious! Do you need some help finishing that? No, no, I meant the burger, not the poem! Interesting idea. Good job.

    Creative! And a good picture of the tension between two real and competing desires, both of which need to be met. And a fun picture!!
