May your stomach give you joy!! I was once a hungry boy. Consequently, little man, do your feeding while you can. Eat your fill and sleep your sleep, while your apparatus keeps smooth and working, while your dreams are not frazzled at the seams. Not for long is that great joy. so go to it hungry boy.
