Guilty Pleasures

I don’t know why some say chips are so bad
Tho we both know, not just one can be had!

And why do burgers have to put on pounds
With hot crispy French fries, by leaps and bounds?

And those sugary treats I so often crave
Why is it always so hard to be brave?

The experts first said fat was a no no
Then they said it’s OK, just take it slow.

Chocolate was banned, but they turned that around
A chocolate milk shake! I was heaven bound!

You should eat healthy, but once in a while
A little junk food can put on a smile!
