A DIETER'S LAMENT
Posted on 2013-04-24 by Lalasharni
What I'd give for toasted cheese
On thick white bread and butter
Greasy, and dripping from the grill
upon my plate, for supper.
What I'd give for chololate fudge
A-top with thick ice cream
marshmallow, candy pops and nuts
With chocolate flakes between.
What I'd give for Apple pie
With custard, thick and creamy
With hints of cinnamon and spice
Oh wouldn't that be dreamy?
The cheese, the chocolate and pie
Would happily slip between my lips
Go round my system twice, and then
Sit firmly on my hips.
But I will munch on carrot sticks
Dipped in my spicy salsa
And sup from classes tall and cold
A pint of diet soda.
So when I step upon the scales
I'll smile, contentedly -
That week on week, there always is
Assuredly, less of me.
The cheese, and ice cream and the pie
Are just a fleeting dream
Until the day, I clearly see
That I'm a size 14!
And Gods - give me patience - but hurry!!
