Poetry?

 Have you ever read "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe? If so then I hope that you will appreciate this in little parody that I've come up with.

The Cravin'

Once upon a midnight yummy, while I pondered I heard my tummy,

Growling, rumbling, oh so loudly growling, only for food, oh for more--

While I turned and tried to sleep, again I heard my tummy shriek,

And this time though I tryeth hard, it made a sound I could not ignore

"Tis a burger," I muttered softly, "This is what I am craving for.

Only this and nothing more

Ah distinctly I recall, driving quickly to the mall

Hoping to catch the food court doors open for one hour more--

Eagerly I pushed on the gas, all the other burger places I passed

Hoping to arrive just before, the food court people closed the doors

For no other burger I wanted than the one behind those beautiful doors.

Only this and nothing more

Out the window I sat peering, long I sat there wondering, fearing

Then, in all my long life, never had I seen such a sight before--

On a sign was the word "Closed" and in a moment my heart was broken.

All of a sudden, Out I shouted "Never again, Nevermore!"

"Never again will I let my burger be locked inside those food court doors."

Merely this and nothing more.
