Newbie - writes poetry

Hi, I'm Ann, aged 66, from the UK, with about 40lb to lose. Most of my poetry is on Christian topics, but a few others, and I thought you might like to see a couple of my pleas written some time ago!
(LOW FAT) CHEESE, PLEASE!
I've had my test results today -
Cholesterol too high,
So I must just watch what I eat -
The cheddar cheese pass by.
No more for me cheese sandwiches
Coming, ready-prepared -
Delicious, brown, cheese falling out,
And too good to be shared!
A wedge of half-fat cheese I well
Could put into my store,
But I'd come back to take a bit,
And then come back for more!
That cheese will call and beckon me
Until it all is gone,
And inches pile on round my hips -
Which really is no fun!
So let's have low-fat sandwiches
Made with a tasty cheese
Upon our supermarket shelves -
I'd really like that, please!
All who watch their cholesterol
Or who some weight would lose
But may be vegetarian,
We'd like the chance to choose!

MORE LOW FAT CHEESE SANDWICHES
Have you been told to cut down fat –
Cholesterol too high,
Or simply that you must lose weight?
And so, with a great sigh
You ditch the Cheddar for low-fat cheese,
Though not as nice by far.
You think you’ll change your sandwiches –
You really are a star!
But even if you put a wedge
Of low-fat cheese to last,
That cheese keeps calling from the fridge,
And goes so very fast!
But on the supermarket shelves
You really cannot find
A single low-fat cheese sandwich –
It really isn’t kind.
So come on Tescos, Sainsburys,
Give us some low-fat cheese
In sandwiches which we enjoy,
Then it would be a breeze.
The weight would fall off easily
(Alas, that isn’t true!)
No calories or points to count,
We’ll have a body new!
