The Grocery List

After weighing myself and gaining five pounds I knew the consequences were profound I bowed my head and softly prayed Please let these pounds melt away I had made a grocery list to send It was time for a home delivery again I knew I had to do as I must Edit the darn thing or my belt would bust The sugar became Splenda the doughnuts were gone Ordering those Reeces cups was just plain wrong No more jellybeans the soda became diet I deleted the white bread, whole wheat got to try it The syrup and jellies became low fat Peanut M & M's no more of that Brown rice replaced white rice making sense While Nestle Quick became milk at two percent But Halloween was dawning so would I dare Order a giant bag of chocolate to pass out and share I knew I could do it not nibble a one So I order the big bag for the holiday fun My groceries arrived and the deliverer put them inside I begin putting everything away my order seemed okay But emptying the last bag I was disappointed to see My order did not contain my giant bag of candy So I checked my e-mail for the grocery review And it was something I should have knew I did pray for myself to lose weight The candy was out-of-stock, ain't God great
