It started out to be a ravaging feast

I had not eaten in twenty four hours

Four regular size peaches all with the savoring taste

I consumed the peaches than my taste changed to Italian

A frozen Lasagna from the local pizza was next

I drank two cans of zero Pepsi to wash the food down

I went to sleep at ten not feeling ill at anytime

The following morning I awoke feeling bloated but still feeling fine

That feeling was short changed however

I began to feel sick  with a pain in my stomach

I tried to induce vomiting except all I got was two wet fingers

The pain grew worse much worse

It was now in severe pain

I had no chance to combat the painful experience

I called 9-11 for some assistance

The medics arrived just as I felt the stinging pain of my chest

Three days later I awoke In a complete stupor

I had no remembrance of the past seventy hours

I was not aware I was in  the local Intensive care unit

All of this transpired for a full twenty hours in the ICU

I made it out of there just in time   

After all there were other things that were Red on top to eat
