DIET OR DIE
Where have all the cookies gone
Long time passing
Where has all the candy gone
Some time ago
Where has all the cheesecakes gone
Fat girls have eaten every one
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the fat girls gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the big girls gone
Some years ago
Where have all the large gals gone
Gone to health spas every one
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the health spas gone
Long time passing
Where have all the health clubs gone
Yes, months ago
Where has all the dieting gone
Gone to keto every time
Lord, will they never learn
Oh, will they never learn?
Getting high on chocolate dreams
Soft meringues and coffee creams
Hypnotized by lemon pies
Velvet cakes makes me shake
With hopes of having belly aches
From cookies as a sinful prize
Brownies cheesecakes cupcakes too
Each luscious morsel drips with goo
Cascading cross my grateful tongue
The crunchy parts of almond tarts
Cream puffs tempt my aching heart
A symphony of taste is sung
Now it's time to take a stroll
Past donuts plump and jelly rolls
The aroma makes it hard to choose
Creme brulee and Bananas Foster
Sets atop my bakery roster
Flavored with a touch of booze
With greed and guile down the aisle
Each item only makes me smile
Sticky sweet as clover honey
After filling up my shopping cart
Reluctantly I have to part
'Cause I just spent all my money
Chipotle Chili Challenge champions cheerfully choose chocolate chai cheesecakes

Acapella, Abbot’s gold, cheese made so big and bright and bold.
Pepper-jack, limburger, cheese on your pie. Why, oh, why, cook, why?
Mozzarella, Elberton Blue, cheese so tasty for me and you.
Cheddar Cheese logs, cheese dogs, cheese eggs, cheese fried on a paper state fair stick.
Serve me some Jalapenos with tasty blue cheese, and please make it quick!
Abertam, abundance, Juliana, cottage cheese, and Jindi Brie.
Almost all cheeses are expensive except home-made, which is free.
Pepper-jack, muenster, cheese on your grandma’s sweet apple pie.
Too busy drinking potato cheese soup, to ask your grandpa why,
Raw milk Feta, Red Buddy too, here is a grilled cheese sandwich for me and you.
Cheesecakes, cheese bakes, and cheese in garden- fresh celery smashed down deep.
I dream of her nightly, as my mind wanders into sleep.

Dug and Blake wanted to bake
For a party at the lake
They decided to make-
Cheesecake and cupcakes
A large order to fill with-
no mistakes
It was a big order to undertake
Blake made large quantities
of fishcakes
All coated with eggs and cornflakes
Dug also decided to take some steaks
Two choices for the meals for the lake
Then later dessert cupcakes and cheesecakes
My desserts not by special rules
The cause of many mouths of drools
My special pie is a` La Mode
Makes finicky taste buds explode
Now my Mississippi mud
Why, it brings a mosaic flood
Then there’s my Peach cobbler
Many a big tummy wobblier
Now there is my pie of raisin
Surely to draw much praising
Why not ice cream your Apple pie
Just go on to heaven and die
Let me tell you, my Cherry cheese
I never stump a toe, or sneeze
My cheesecakes, never a fake
My critics in their boots quake
Now let me proceed to make
You my German chocolate cake
For my dear Cherokee momma
Never did used store bought drama
I learn from mom, you all know
She brought my brown eyes to glow
The how of my special desserts
Pleases so very much it hurts
With my scrumptious dessert
Taste buds desire more than just flirt
Bringing your lust to a pitch
You certainly need bring a switch
