Stuff the Lettuce Leaf

I’m counting calories each time I eat,
Trying to reduce the size of my bum,
Been touching my toes to a rhythmic beat
And masticating on sugar-free gum
To ease the burden of choccy delights
That beat my will power on winter nights.
In the summer the rule is to be thin
The bikini clad figure can’t be fat,
When will I learn to say ‘to hell with that?
I am content with the skin I am in.’
