I tried to meditate for peace…

 …but my stomach wanted pizza, not inner silence.”
So there I was, cross-legged, eyes closed, trying to connect with my inner self.
Deep breath in. Deep breath out.
Then suddenly… growwwwl.
Not a tiger. My own stomach. Roaring like it hadn’t eaten in 3 years.
I whispered, “Shhh…” — but it just got louder, like it was ordering food.
The meditation teacher said, “Ignore distractions.”
Sir, it’s hard to ignore a belly chanting “Pizzaaaa…”
I opened one eye and saw everyone still meditating peacefully.
Meanwhile, I was fighting an internal food war.
So I stood up, bowed, and walked out — straight into a pizza shop.
Inner peace? Found it. Stuffed crust.
