It was his reward
He ate joyously for hours
Doughnut after doughnut.
Every flavor imaginable.
Then hours became days
Days became weeks
Weeks became years.
He could not stand.
He could not leave.
He could not stop from eating.
The doughnuts kept coming.
This was no reward.
For one,
There was no milk.
The irony. I love it.
