It has occurred to me
the current epidemic of obesity
can be traced back sublimely
to a famous children's book
where a very hungry Caterpillar
eats all kinds of absurd unrelated gook
Devouring everything so ravishingly
that this very desperate act of piggery
enters the open mind sponge of the average three
so by the time age six becomes nine
overeating has been reinforced many a time
It might be better if we banned this book entirely
from all of our collective history
and instead read a true example of harmony
like those found in the pages of The Giving Tree
