He Leadeth Me

HE LEADETH ME

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want,
He leadeth to lose Corona virus weight gain,
and to keep it off for my health's sake.
He causes me to remember
to drink water instead of sweet drinks.
He maketh me to lie down when tempted
to indulge in ice-cream and cheesecake.
He leadeth me away from cookies and pies
and into the paths of salads and vegies.
My head He anoints with oil free dressing.
A table is prepared with low-cal foods,
as forbidden ones are my enemies.
Surely this weight loss shall follow me
all the days of my life and I will dwell
in the land of misery and hunger
forever
