Quite a catchy music background to this poem - get caught up in the beat. Interesting title - food for thought.

Ak! That killed me! Why would the cannibals eat pie and pudding!? Oh my god! I love it...though...I think I and Mr. Kirkhope might not have liked the blare of noise about 45 seconds in...other than that I'm happy with the score...for once...
