The Bell<o
></o>
1 <o></o>
Once upon a midnight hungry, watchingTV, weak and weary,<o></o>
Infomercials pushing grills and knives,and food and more-<o></o>
While I nodded nearly napping, suddenlythere came a tapping,<o></o>
As if a rapper, gently rapping, rappingat my bedroom door,<o></o>
“‘Tis a commercial,” I muttered, “pushinga run, for the border-<o></o>
Only this and nothing more.”<o></o>
2<o></o>
Ah, distinctly I remember, from mygarage, that cold December,<o></o>
Each house so dark in slumber, watchingme run for the border.<o></o>
Eagerly I pushed my Mustang, Taco Bellcould wait no longer,<o></o>
Dreams of tacos, beans and nachos,burritos wrapped and sauced in fervor,<o></o>
For my pallet hot and spicy, I had Tums,I did not worry,<o></o>
A peerless snack and nothingmore.<o></o>
3<o></o>
So I ordered, it was easy, all this foodand none was greasy,<o></o>
Cheesy, steamy, Mexi goodness, in my bagthe scents of wafting,<o></o>
Home I flew to eat and savor, all thatgoodness all that flavor,<o></o>
Bite by bite, munch and devour, all thistook less than an hour,<o></o>
Then back I slumped and watched my TV,rumblings ceasing,<o></o>
At least for now, but nevermore?<o></o>
<o> </o>
4<o></o>
Presently the smell grew stronger, I haddozed now slept no longer,<o></o>
From my slumber sounds a-hearing,rumbling, rolling, reports sounding,<o></o>
Neighbor dogs began their barking,lights came on out near the park and,<o></o>
Then I knew it was from my room, emanatingfrom my bedroom,<o></o>
Silence then but nevermore.<o></o>
5<o></o>
Open here I flung the shutter,straining, grunting, much a mutter,<o></o>
Gasping, choking, clean air lacking,still and stifled stinky room!<o></o>
In pranced my dog, a small Chihuahua, nolonger begging drop chalupas,<o></o>
Watched me search for scented candles,danced away in search of shelter,<o></o>
In Espanol habla- nunca mas.<o></o>
6<o></o>
Mushroom cloud from the explosion, gasigniting fire is razing,<o></o>
Air was denser, match a-flicker, postcanine footfalls tinkled out the door,<o></o>
Refried beans and then burritos, addsoft drink bubbles it created,<o></o>
The gonging of a midnight run, a tacobomb the end of cravings,<o></o>
Quoth Chihuahua, Never-More. <o></o>
