The Hunger Strike

An extra 100 points

Enticed her to

Participate

No one managed to

Complete the no

Talking strike

Especially not her

But not eating -

Piece of cake

Many times she was

Forced to finish

Her meals

She could even resist

Chocolate for

24 hours

But Father was sneaky

Special instructions

For the cooks

The aroma of cooking

Blueberries wafted

Through the camp

Blueberries for breakfast

Lunch and dinner

Tempting her

Blueberry dumplings

Blueberry slices

Blueberry crepes

Salivating all day

She surrendered

At dinner
