Regarding My Calories

Carrying that extra weight on me Doctor’s order, to cut my calories Boiled eggs and a orange juice Fewer carbs now on my plate An apple now, my lunch date Soup and salads are my fate Totalling calories for me to lose This calorie count burns my fuse. 07.10.2020 Theme picked:4 In Praise of the Ode Poetry.

I know it really sucks. They add up really fast. Congrats on the win, my fellow calorie counter.
