Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Too Much Food

Eating too much food
    is never any good
  Puts one in a nasty mood
    What to do? -- Eat some more food!

  That'll solve everything, you'll feel so much better
    tho to your refrigerator you'll feel like a debtor
  Alternatively, you can take a vow of ascetism
    tho it greatly restrict your athleticism 

  Of course, when all else fails, you can turn to Professor Google
    whose algorithm recommends increasing Metamucil 
  As for me, I'm tearing my hair out
    for it seems my appetite will never wear out

Vickey Rhymer July 27, 2023 at 1:25 AM Knew of an old woman that said she didn't want to die indebted to her stomach.Make sure your getting enough protein.And hydrate.We often mistake hunger for thirst.The germans have a word that translates grief bacon for emotional eating.Ask yourself, " whats eating me ? " If nothing enjoy your sandwich and eat it in peace my friend. Gershon Wolf July 27, 2023 at 7:59 PM Thanks for your interest and for the great tips, Vickey! Much appreciated! ~ Food Slave

Michael Tor July 26, 2023 at 11:22 PM Controlling ones appetite is so difficult to do Gershon when it comes to good food. Excercise I think is the key. You can eat but you have to burn those calories... Thanks for sharing. Gershon Wolf July 27, 2023 at 8:01 PM Burn, baby, burn! Thanks, Michael
