FOOD OR BOOKS

*Food or Books*

Oh, the eternal strife,

Food or books, which is life?

My stomach growls with glee,

"Pizza!" it screams, "Forget Hemingway!"

But then my brain pipes up,

"Wait, what about that literary sup?"

A juicy burger vs. Austen's pride,

My taste buds clash with my bookshelf inside.

I crave a taco, crunchy and bright,

But Dickens beckons, "Read me tonight!"

Fries or fiction, which to choose?

My belly and brain in culinary blues.

I devour a novel, oh so fine,

But then I'm hungry, all the time!

A sandwich whispers, "Come and bite,"

But Shakespeare's sonnets ignite.

This epic battle, day and night,

Food or books, which takes flight?

I'll find a solution, don't you fret,

I'll eat and read, and never forget!

That's my compromise, so divine,

Food and books, a perfect combine!

Now pass the pizza and that novel too,

I'll munch and read, in harmony anew!
