Midsection Murders

to the themesong of the British TV series “Midsomer Murders”

Like midnight oil keeps on burning,
burning into the night,
my gassy stomach keeps turning
all out of sight.

Burrito I ate keeps returning,
until the sun is bright.
“I am what I eat” I am learning;
Gained new insight.

Now spicy foods I am spurning,
try to avoid that plight.
No more gastronomical churning:
I’m eating right.
