Horrible.
I was starving. All I had for breakfast was one apple and fifteen raisins.
Horrible - Michael Rosen
It was half-past twelve, and I had to get to Hemel Hempstead. So I bought a pizza, and I ran and ran and jumped on my train. As we pulled out of Euston Station, I began to eat.
Trouble was, my pizza was in a paper bag. One sloppy, cheesy, pizza with the melting cheese and tomato stuck to the bag. So I peeled off the paper off my pizza, but it was slippery and sticky, and the pizza came off in soggy lumps that I scooped together, and pushed into my mouth *ehh, mm* blob by blob. But then there were dollops of pizza hiding in the corner of the bag, so I was holding the bag up to my face, tipping it into my mouth. *mmh, mhm-uhh* I was drinking pizza, and my fingers were running with dribbles of tomato *mm, ahh-ahh* and slops of spicy cheese all over my knuckles. So there I was *ahh-ahh* licking up my skin but my fingers were trailing all over my chin, so off went my tongue, 'round my face, *aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah* hunting for drips of pizza. But a bit of the paper bag had got into my mouth so I was in there trying to get that out with the finger I was licking. *uuh-ohh* It's- ah, it was diving into the slobber in my mouth and I was *snort* snuffling with my nose, *snort* like I was *snort* breathing in pizza.
It was then, I noticed the woman opposite. She was watching me. [long pause and swallow] She looked like she had never seen anything quite so horrible in all her life.
