Re: Ravenous beast that you are.

Yes I am indeed a ravenous beast,
devourer of life a most tasty feast.
I hunger not like cats in heat nor is
my hunger of the songbird sweet.
I hunger not for satisfaction, it's
the anticipation which binges on
my passion.
My tongue desires the flavors but
it's all in the preparation which
my hunger savors;
Melting, grinding, folding, stirring,
steaming, blending, kneading...
I hunger not for everything nice, I
prefer not the sugar it's the spice
that's my vice.
And I hunger not for the flesh of
the peach, it's those sweet dripping
juices I'm aching to reach.
Yes I am indeed a ravenous beast,
devourer of life a most tasty feast.
