you'd eat anything if starving

if hungry enough,

starving,

in a prison, or lost in

the jungle

for weeks on end,

you'd eat anything.

just to survive

you'd be eating bugs

and raw fish,

snakes

and birds, pulling

the feathers off, making

a meal of squirrels

and mice.

you'd even eat your

mother's split pea

soup, if it came down

to it

and you were on

your last leg, about

to expire.
