If you aren't really hungry...

by Maria Francesca

You don't know me well;
so you might not know this -

I am not a comma
or an ampersand.

I am not a what's-her-name.

I am not a snack.

I am the exclamation point.

My name is in the dictionary
next to a picture of everything you ever wanted.

I am Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings.

So if you're not really hungry
please get away from my table.

Very nicely put Maria. Clever, serious. Love the final warning in the closing lines. Goes to my favourites.
