Everything for Moppel

M Sarki

Packed for years in
Her omentum, he felt dolce
And so queeved himself

Doughy. What had been
Previously noted as a
Superb disposition

Soured on him, fat as
He was. But, fortuitously,
His araneous woman

Exercised him until he
Minimized himself into
A mere speck on the

Flank of one of her smallish,
But now entirely
Sufficient, udders.

Such abundance the
God wanted more.
