Ramble 2
i started tracking my weight, exercise, what i eat
every morning i do this little dance
with the bathroom scale
i get up, dress in the same thing,
weigh myself and subtract 4 pounds
some mornings if i don’t like the results
i will subtract another pound for the
cup of coffee i drank
doesn’t matter how big the cup was
if the results are still not favorable,
i will do my exercises, my walk,
then weigh myself
when the dance is over, i’ll log my weight
and threaten to buy a new scale
then i eat
