Carbs

Lots of people watch their carbs. I guess I watch them, too, As they proceed from plate to fork And in my mouth to chew. I don't care much for protein And most healthy foods I'll skip Except for certain veggies Seared in oil or used to dip. But give me bread or pasta, Pizza, muffins, beer and fries And I'll indulge and luckily, I won't go up a size. So here's to carbohydrates! If the cavemen had their choice, They'd be following my diet And would certainly rejoice!

Hahaha! I think the cavemen were animal eaters, hence protein intakers? I watch my diet carefully, mostly veggies, gluten free pasta, no bread, no fries, lost of seafood, and little red meat. For protein I take a nonfat yogurt. The only alcohol I drink is wine. /M

I love bread and pizza but rarely eat it as I have a wheat allergy. I enjoyed your poem Ilene. Enjoy your pizza! : )
