Regretting Cake
The moment I stepped on the scale,
my mouth started to shout and wail,
not that many pounds!
My belly’s so round,
I’m starting to look like a whale!
I shouldn’t have eaten more cheesecake,
it sure was my biggest mistake,
no more skinny me,
three hundred eighty,
so heavy I may cause a quake!
I no longer can wear tight jeggin’s,
not even my tiny leggin’s,
but cherries on top,
sometimes I can’t stop,
please help! I just can’t stop beggin'!
I’ve pleaded my hubby for more,
he says, “you can't get off the floor”,
I’m just so hungry,
more cheesecake for me,
I can't even fit through the door!
