Empty Calories
I forgot what I forgotten
and I knew what I know
Life is always choices
so I am told.
If empty calories don't fill you up
why do I have a wide butt?
Your belly swells jolly
chin doubles up
and disposition is sweet
loving peanut butter cups.
Sodas are fountain
of sparkling fizzy joy
candies gorge a mountain
fantasy of every girl and boy.
All sweets any flavor
never get enough
Taste of sugar goodness
now that is the stuff
Juices overflow
into my giant mug
honey is a miracle
made by flying bugs.
Get a sugar high
jittery running around
Than fast asleep you crashed
lying on the ground.
Happy Halloween of long ago
when receiving free candies overflowed
Say Trick or Treat in scary costumes or cute
mountain of candy you earn childhood loot.
