Weight Problem
All I can think of is what’s there to eat
From when I get up till I go to sleep.
What will be the entrée? What’s for dessert?
Promising after to diet revert.
Must have a good breakfast to start out the day.
It’s the meal most important many folks say
So we will have gravy, eggs, bisquits and bacon
Planning that dinner and lunch be forsaken.
But a lite lunch is so necessary
Just a few carbs, a small bit of dairy
But over the lunch I should never linger
Appetite spoiling for tonight’s dinner
I lie on the sofa when sets the sun
Tonight’s meal is finished, dishes are done.
That call from the munchies I try not to heed
“Just a small nibble is all that you need”.
Can’t rest for thinking bout what’s in the fridge
Dinner’s lefrtovers and pie just a smidge.
Twould be such a crime should it go to waste.
It surely can’t hurt if I have just a taste.
Awaking at night, can’t go back to sleep,
For a midnight snack to kitchen I creep.
A cookie, a sandwich, a small bag of chips
And that’s every bite that goes past my lips!
Can’t understand why I keep gaining weight???
A bird couldn’t live on what I just ate.
To keep my strength up I have to be fed.
Should I stop altogether, I’d surely be dead!
