Battle of the Bulge

There is a potbelly in Kelly
  To whom it belongs  ‘Our Nelly’
   She’s banned from the pantry
    Works out in the gantry
     Her bikini versus the deli.

CAme back to this and realized I had seen it before. I sure love this kind of poem. I am food obsessed. Always counting my calories makes me want to write more and more about food.
