The Smell of Pizza

The shop is alive with the smell of pizza

With scents it has had for a thousand years

The shop fills my nose with the smell of pizza

My mouth wants to try every flavor here

My teeth want to bite all the warm crispy squares that rise

behind oven doors.

My eyes wants to see where the pizza lies

on the plates and floors.

To lick up the melting and steaming cheese

and the pizza sauce.

To eat through the night

Like a knight who has fought through three wars!

I go the shop when I'm feeling hungry

I know I will smell what I've smelled before

My tongue will be pleased with the taste of pizza

And I'll chew once more!
