Limit Those Portions


     Don’t drink this
       Never eat that
     No ‘naked carbs’ now
       or you’ll get fat

     Too much sugar
        too much grease
     From fries and pizza
        you’d better cease

      Limit those portions
         Dessert, not a nibble
      Else like pudding or jello
         you won’t walk, you’ll wriggle

      Well I’ve had it, you hear
         I’m off my diet at last
      ‘Cos if I eat any less
         I might as well fast

Ha! Love the jello line, Gershon! I think eating anything and everything is fine, as long as it’s done in moderation. Enjoy that slice of pizza and definitely don’t skip the fries!

My son and I are going thru this (me wanting him to diet.) So, have you been trying? The poem is funny, for sure, but I think it could also be a great therapy write for one who is FLUSTERATED by dieting. People hate me, I never gain no matter how much I eat, not so my son. In fact, after what I went thru recently (you read about it), I have been trying to gain. OK, now you hate me, bye ... love me again later ... CayCay
