When you (I) must change your diet and you know you’re going to hate it
The fun scale will go down so you’ll never ever rate it
Counting the carbs makes you roll your eyes
You can never again let your weight rise
It’s better to acknowledge and out loud state it
*
When you know a place where doughnuts are hot
Where the cannoli serving is delicious and a lot
A restaurant where there’s yummy marinara sauce
But of your diet you must be the boss
Partake of pasta carbs you must not
*
It’s likely a good thing you like the kale
But you’ve no desire to be skinny as a rail
A happy medium you must find
Then you’ll not be in an anxiety bind
But on this quest you shall not fail
*
Alas there are many good books to read
Stories give you pleasure and to faraway places can lead
You love words and good tales told
Powell’s is close so more books in the fold
Books have no calories yourself to feed
