Food I Need in My Belly

I am on the prowl
For some tasty fowl

I will eat it up
I’m a hungry pup

I want a baked ham
And some roasted lamb

Please give me a juicy steak
And some chicken Shake ‘n Bake

I need some pork chops
Shrimp is the tops

A bowl of chili would be great
It is first-rate

I’ll have a pizza pie
I want a sandwich of pastrami and rye

A roasted turkey can’t be beat
Homemade pretzels are a treat

I want some watermelon for sure
When I’m sick, chicken soup is the cure

I’ll dine on a lobster tail
I want a nicely cooked quail
