Meatloaf

I saw in on the plate
Way in the back
Flickering in the fridge light
On the top rack

I swear I saw it grin
It had hair all over the place
It started to scare me
It was meatloaf with a face!

I tried to close the fridge
I couldn't; I was hypnotized
I couldn't stop looking in those meatloaf eyes

It told me to eat him
Over and over again
His words at my brain
Like I ate him

Yes, yes, I ate him.
I'm sorry I broke a rule.
This is why mom, I can't go to school
