Cupboard Slam

Glimmer 
Shimmer 
Diet until thinner
Bleach one's teeth 
Go under the surgeon's knife
Live the Hollywood life
Accumulate wealth 
Excercise daily 
Eat like a squirrel 
But if you don't feed the middle 
The bit between your head
You might as well be dead
Because you can't cheat yourself 
A shelf is still a shelf 
Despite the look of the cupboard
