Diet Fruit Pie

Here is my own recipe for  Diet Fruit Pie.
Perhaps you’d like to give it a try.
It will be a success I trust,
if pounds need be shed 
as I assume they must.

Peel five large bananas and discard the insides.
Get out the chopper and blend those hides.
When it turns to paste, flour up a pan
and squish it in there by hand.
That will be the crust 
of which every pie must.
You may even lick your fingers
If you’re one of those bingers.

Now to this diet pie plan of yours,
Add four cups of apple cores.
For filler, chop up the cardboard box without the ritz
and fold it in with a cup of blended cherry pits.

Now cover up this mess with the rest of the banana peel batter
Bet you’re already feeling a lot less fatter…. 
(stop drooling)

You may finish up with a garnish topping as follows:
Take old grapefruit peelings and chop them up fine,
mix in, to suite, bits of watermelon rind.
Sprinkle this topping generously all around
And burn this dietary delight until brown.

Warning: this recipe is not for the anemic
As it tends to make one bulimic.

Forgot to say thanks for your encouraging words about the chiropractor. I'm tired of taking medications with awful side effects, but I always enjoy seeing the chiropractor.

Sooo funny, dear chef! I wouldn't even want to look at this in a blender, especially the bits of the Ritz crackers box. Yes, this will certainly destroy your appetite! Great recipe for dieters. Love, Carolyn

This was hilarious, well done. Sounds about like the diet that every anorexic model is on these days, :)
