Food for Thought

Sometimes I forget that I'm eating rice

for every meal cause there's no price

And soy sauce makes the rice a treat

And at least we don't eat chicken feet

Sometimes I forget that there are bones

in all the meat because I zone

out with the excitement of eating food

that is so different and so new

Sometimes I forget that weekend meals

Give me the wrong kind of feels

Because usually what we eat 

Looks more like throw-up than mystery meat

Sometimes I forget what it's really like

to know what you're eating before taking a bite

But that whole fish laying on my plate

tasted like salmon and was top rate

Lunch is probably my favorite meal

And for dinner we play deal or no deal

One day we were even given feast

With rice cakes, crab, and other delectable treats

The lunch chefs here really are so nice

to feed us hamburgers or a pizza slice
even with octopus paired right across
Eating snail still wasn't the biggest loss

Sometimes I forget how happy I can be 

with a gallon of ice cream next to me

But that oatmeal dessert also was yummy

and those steamed buns really filled my tummy

Sometimes I forget that American stuff

Is salty, sweet, and full of fluff

Because the soy milk here is really great 

And I always get a full plate 

Sometimes I remember that food is food

And a full stomach is better than being rude

And ice cream comes and ice cream goes

And China life is worth a few food woes.

it's bacon right?
