Yogurt
I used to eat yogurt
When trying to diet.
Instead of a muffin,
I thought I would try it.
Some flavors were tasty
But none’d really thrill me.
Compared to my muffin,
It never did fill me.
Demand for it faded
And I, too, surrendered;
For, low-fat or no-fat,
My body’d not slendered.
But now, decades later,
Seems yogurt is cool
And anyone knocking it’s
Branded a fool.
It still wouldn’t fill me
If served as a meal
And as for a snack,
It holds little appeal.
So I’ll stand outside
As the yogurtites eat
And stick to my ice cream
If I need a treat.
