Late-Night Urges: Twittering Tales #136

Waking in the night, as hungry as a bear,

Opened the fridge, and found nothing there.

Nothing that would satisfy my sweet tooth,

And if you want to hear my sordid truth,

Unless I see plenty of cookies, cakes, or pies,

I don’t find that my great hunger will die.

I know that beggars can’t be choosers,

But, without something sweet, I feel such a loser.
