Margaret Daalman,52, a woman that is Dutch, <br />Margaret, outside her insatiable appetite, she didn't complain to much. <br />Ms. Daalman had an unusual craving for many utensils. <br />She appeared to favor them just as the witch had, <br />To consume many Hansels and Gretels. <br />She had consumed flatware in her body, in all 78 pieces, <br />Enough to serve 34 settings without the knives, in her digestive tract. <br />In fact, <br />Doctors diagnosed her with pica disease. <br />The metals, such as iron zinc, <br />-had attributed to her hunger pangs for years. <br />Margaret tolerated her pain, I think, <br />Though it most likely brought her tears. <br />Finally, she couldn't take anymore and had to have surgery. <br />Among the flatware taken out of body were forks and spoons. <br />She ate some of them in morning, at lunch, at dinner, <br />During the day and quarter, half, three quarter, and new moons. <br />Lucky she didn't have them pass, <br />For it would be an Amsterdam it, pain in the ass. <br /> <br />10-31-09<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-her-mouth/
