Kim Merryman Poet Couplet

Diet No No's

No more cookies, no more chips,
No more fattening yummy dips.

No more ice cream, no more cake,
No more doughnuts on a break.

No more milkshakes, no more fries,
No more bread and no more pies.

No more sugar and no more fat,
All these things have made me fat.

No more candy that's for sure!
I wonder how long I'll endure?

From these temptations I must flee,
If I want to have less of me.

Jon A Cavanaugh August 31, 2013 at 11:12 AM Bravo! There must be someone who endures / a restrictive diet such as your / But certainly not one such as me / For I eat nothing sugar free. I love this poem of yours.
