Convoluted Thinking
CONVOLUTED THINKING
it’s the holidays
when thoughts turn to those of food
not just any food
sweets are thrust from every side
candy fruit cake and apple pie
the list is endless
when I think how weak i am
it makes me shudder
doubtless i shall overeat
so i must set a limit
i hate my fat self
when I look in the mirror
40 pounds over
over what the weight chart says
high school weight days are over
what is sensible?
dare I make it 45
easy to lose 5
just think of the tasty fun
candy fruit cake and mince pie
egg nog rich stuffing
that thanksgiving table spread
how my mouth waters
LOOK! the lady on t.v.
took off 50 with jenny
my god! 50 pounds!
why! 5 pounds would be a snap!
and now I’m resolved
i will sign with jenny
right after the holidays
