The Pizza Box

The pizza box said “Open before eating”
I read it twice to be sure
That it said just what I thought it did
And not something more obscure

I have to wonder how often
The situation has occurred
Where a person overlooked the pizza
And instead chewed the cardboard

And further, is there harm in that?
I mean, ‘twould add some roughage
Or is the problem that eaters
Usually don’t get enoughage?

I don’t expect an answer
To the questions I’ve unfurled
Just a morning’s musing
On the absurdity of our world
