Edits Okay
Diet is really edit misspelled.
I'd rather think of it that way.
It seems easier to modify,
Than it does to take away.
Diet is also a harsh word.
Starvation leaps to mind.
A jailer who throws the key away,
Because eating is a crime.
Edit is a nicer word.
Rearranged it spells the tide.
A picture of ebbing serenity,
Erosion over time.
Diet is more of a challenge.
A gauntlet slapped in your face!
While edit simply reminds us,
A pencil may also erase.
