What about it? For a start, you plainly don't actually program in Lisp. No actual Lisp programmer puts end brackets on separate lines. And you haven't exploited Lisp's homoiconic (lol) nature at all, which is the only reason to use Lisp. Also, commenting the end of control structures is quaint, but pointless, and only seen in textbooks.

Furthermore, "hunger" is a terrible name for a function. Hunger is a thing. You can't "do" hunger. And Christ alone knows what 'fulfill-desires' does. Whatever it is, it evidently doesn't involve satisfying hunger, as that's taken care of in "hunger". And you don't use any function parameters, or declare any local variables. All your variables are global. They fail. You fail.

Aside from its bulbous demerits as a program, it's an utter swellington as a poeme. And that ain't good. -10-
