if you don't get some bread

How long has this bread been sitting here?
It's a shame that it was wasted
The mauld and germs feasting upon it
People would have loved
how it could have tasted.

Placed on a computer desk
in the depth of the shadows
treated with neglect
wouldn't you have woes?

Taken for granted and not appreciated
worthless it feels
flies come to regurgitate it
it could have been used
imagine the meals.

cheese on toast,
beans on toast,
a sandwhich,
maybe toasted.

Now imagine your the bread

even better imagine your going to be dead

if you don't get some bread

imagine how many tears you'd shed

Imagine if you were a mother

not being able to feed your daughter

not having all the food on tap

6 million pigs they do not send to slaughter!

now you can take this however you like

as long as you appreciate, do what you like.

Author notes

hee hee, bread inspired me! never thought that could happen. this was a bit of an experiment to see what could be produced. now i would start a contest to write a poem about something that is on your computer desk, but i really don't know how. i wouldn't mind someone producing that compotition, go ahead if you think its a good idea.

    interstingly funny

    dont cry over bread that has molded
    cry becuase it was, for god knows what reason, put on your computer desk.
    cry becuase the bread will feed the mice and inturn thier fleas
    cry because it will feed cockroaches
    that give us all heebijeebies
