It may be redundant
but the talent's abundant--
he has what they're looking for.
Sampling cremes
chocolate supremes--
he's a fat man in a candy store.

Searching for the piece not tasted
nibbled morsels, lying wasted,
smashed and scattered on the floor
as the fat man eats some more.
Cakes, cookies, riches divine,
the fat man eats and wastes his time.
Devouring sweets,
he longs for meat--
to soak his fat tongue in fine wine.

Fat man in a candy store
can't find what he's hungry for...

Gosh...If it's really this bad, please somebody post some suggestions...

There really was some thought behind this,
but I guess I failed to convey it.

Open to suggestions...Anyone?

I like this poem serenity
I can read a lot into it and implant myself in its' interpretation ... except I'm on a
steady diet ... but I like to read the menu

Oh my...I think it is wonderful...and I'm ashamed to admit I giggled a bit... (  then I realized it might be based on facts...

I hope this was not a real life situation...for then I will feel worse..

Yano, I would re-post this - to be honest it has a very strong message to send out, that they didn't get in 2000. I can see the crumpled wrappers actually, and they are many things.
