The Daily Feast Of The Hungry
“Welcome all to the 385th anniversary of the daily feast of the hungry!” The hostess said with a sly smile across her lips.
”Tonight’s feast is a juicy pork tenderloin.” The pork was served to each of the fifty guests by identical waiters in red aprons.
“With a side of freshly steamed broccoli.“ the broccoli was scooped on to each guests plate slowly to increase their appetite.
“And a nice, juicy, corn on the cob.” The waiters filed up everyone’s plate and went out the back door in a organized manner.
The hostess ,with her perfectly curled hair and her beautiful long red evening dress, sat down and glanced over her guests. Each one looked hungrier than the last.The squirmed in there seats,ruffling up their ball gowns and tuxedos.
“Ladies and gentlemen,”the hostess said as she leaned on her elbows and laced her fingers together.”dig in!”
Her command echoed through the hall.The guests tried desperately to eat but the food moved away from their forks.Zigzagging across their plates to avoid the forks.
So guests began trying to grab the food with their bare hands, but had no luck. Broccoli bounced down the tables,corn shot through the sky like bullets,and pork tenderloin was flying through the air, people jumped off chairs and tables to try and grab one.
But no one could catch the food.Yelling and cursing filled the ball room and the guest became more and more agitated. People threw plates at the walls and forks at the ceiling.One man,in a fit of rage, took a chair and chucked it in to the lit fire place.This caused sparks to fly and the curtains to catch fire.
While all of this was happening the hostess sat at the head of the table finishing up her meal. She took a sip of her wine and got up to leave.
“This has been fun. See you all again tomorrow night!” She called out to the raging crowd.
She headed to the door, heels clicking as she walked. As she closed the giant golden doors of the bathroom she thought to herself,
‘Man,I love Hell.’
