The Goddess Appetitey

The goddess Appetitey,
                     a figure I have known
The mirror makes it all so clear
             just look at how I’ve grown

Yes, Appetitey is a joy
                when she comes around
With her songs in Menu form
                   resistance can’t found

She always seems to know
                   just what I love to eat
Burgers, tacos, fish and chips 
          and always something sweet
 
The goddess Appetitey
                  not really known to all
She’s the reason diet’s fail
                    why we drop the ball
 
Her sister of Greek myth
                 the one of lust and love
Banned her from the heavens
                      yet she is still above  

So when you feel the urges
              to stuff your face with pie
Just go and give the finger
                         right up to the sky




 Pronunciation:
            App-a-Ty-tee

Her lusty sister
             Af-ra-Dy-tee

Something about the covid lockdown made Appetitey think she could take up permanent residence in my home... I've been trying to write her a "Dear John" letter. Love your imagination and whimsy in this... I can SO relate... still smiling at "With her songs in Menu form". Great writing, Mike ~ John
