The First Temptation
Beautiful things in life have to do with taste
But who can tame those taste buds that seem to never waste
Has anyone been so careful in his eating habits
Today we are constantly nibbling like bunny rabbits
It is through eating that our first parents were tempted
And it is in through eating (the eucharist) that our sins get exempted
Yet food has been the greatest battle in my life
Greater than even those which I have with my wife
Monday to Fridays we are over our laptops, slouched
Come weekends-endless are the walks between the refrigerator and couch
And what of today, burgers, fries and other fast foods
Swiggy, Zomato and other food deliveries get us in right mood
At the swipe of our cell phone everything made so easy
We want to tempt those taste buds even when the thought makes us queasy
At the rate at which we are gobbling
I’m afraid in the mirror one day I will be spooked by an ugly fat goblin
