a rumbling tummy is all i need,
in the middle of an exam,
in the silence of the hall.
i have my bag at my feet,
lucky its there,
cause my mum packed my lunch!
i look in my bag and see my fruit,
an apple or orange?
what will i choose?
bite by bite,
i slowly eat,
keeping from the examinors careful eye.
a quiet tummy is what i now have,
satisfied and full,
i go back to my exam.
