Weighty Matters

For years I had a problem losing 
And putting weight  back on,
But after years of intense study
My problem is now gone.
I’m now four stone lighter
And proved that it’s true
If a man puts his mind to it
It’s just amazing what he can do.
In spite of the pressure and
Threats of violence and abuse
From the diet food companies 
And all those foodie Gurus
I’m releasing my solution 
For all the world to see:
I only eat food that’s been
Certified Truly Calorie Free.
