Michel Lotito: The Man Who Ate An Airplane And Everything Else

He was a Frenchman and certainly not from Arlington.

But in his lifetime he ate about nine tons of metal.
He never swallowed an anvil whole.
He had better table manners.

He had trouble digesting bananas and hard boiled eggs.
So he had to avoid these.

Certainly he had to stay away from the apple.

Had he lived in St. Louis he would have attacked the Arch.

But being in France he ate only a taste of the Eiffel Tower.

Be assured he set himself aglow after consuming six chandeliers.

The anarchy of his life came when he was attacked and brutally knifed,

Sadly, Mr. Lotito passed away in June of 2007 not in April of 2008.

To make amends It’s said that he died of “natural causes." It was surrender and a way to appease.

Author's Note
Lotito suffered from Pica, which is a medical condition that causes cravings to eat such things as dirt, glass and, apparently, anything metal
