Big Belly

Child hunger I have never known
I was well fed as a child
and so were mine and theirs
I never knew a person who went hungry
but they say they are out there
starving people in America?

I guess you could count me
as a teenager
when I saved my lunch money
all week
to buy beer and gas for the weekend
I was rather thin

If I see a starving child
I will let you know
maybe we can chip in
for a happy meal
