First, a bite
A nibble at a nail
A set of teeth biting
Just because we could
After all, who cares for a nail?
I just wanted to lick
The teeth were biting a nail
And I licked a finger
What harm is there
If a tongue licks a finger?
I wanted just a piece
Perhaps I was hungry
With the teeth biting
And the tongue licking
The stomach needs a little flesh too
They said I was selfish
That I should have shut tight
To stop the eating spree
But I am just a mouth
And I needed to be cool
Our alliance was solid
Mouth, teeth, tongue
A stomach and an oesophagus
Grabbing the every flesh available
Just because we could
Others cheered us on
As we gobbled up their inferior brethren
Till we started nibbling at them too
And turning against each other
When there was nothing to gobble
Then it was too late!
