Take Out

It’s raining and snowing
I’m hungry
who’s going?
You go no you go
my karma’s not flowing.

That’s a bogus excuse
as I ever did hear.
It’s just nasty weather
of what do you fear?

Whoever does hie
down the road
for the pie
will be a hero to all
this is no lie.

So you assume that its pizza
not Greek or Chinese
what if its Italian
my palate will please.

Perhaps its salad I crave
how would you know?
You have yet to ask
who cares man just go.

Into the elements
close my eyes and just dive
so my stomach will fill
so to eat and survive.

Wait just a minute
I don’t have to shiver
We will get the pizza
I forgot…they deliver!
