April 2, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story that includes pizza. It can be an original pizza pie (or slice) or something pizza-like. Go where the prompt leads!
No food in the shops
The cupboards are bare
My children are hungry
There is nothing to share
My stomach is rumbling
I try racking my brains
What on earth can we do while
All our energy drains?
A meat pie sounds great
A roast dinner would be better
I am being haunted by food
buttered toast would be kind
but pizza would be good
I can see it now, my mouth waters
I can smell the delicious aroma
of tomato, ham and cheese
A joy to my heart, my stomach too
Will someone bring me a pizza please?
