Need all of the needed vitamin supplements and more,
Because my own diet can nowadays be oh so poor.
But inflation in these days may lead to a civil kind of war.
Why must you toast that slice?
You sure don't knead the carbs.
Please put the bread away.
Stick to your diet dear.
I like rye!
Dry fresh toast!
Please don't sigh.
Pie instead?
Don't be sly!

The eating of pie before dinner,
It isn’t on point to get thinner.
It’s best to let go
That tin pan of woe,
And be a calorical winner.
on diet again
no more macho muscle men
chewing a slim jim
What should I do today
Doing everything the same way
Watching too much TV
It’s putting weight on me
Lack of movement causing pain
Knees hurt due to weight gain
My back hurts if I stand to long
Clothes to tight especially my bra
Sweets make my day
Trouble putting them away
No will power to keep at bay
When I walk my body sways
Going to start my diet today
Walk the pounds away
Exercise brings pain
Hope I don’t go insane
Sweat pouring down my face
Trying to run the race
A new life I need to embrace
So I don’t feel disgrace
Bowl of oatmeal
squirt of honey
spoon of jelly
fills the belly
Nothing fancy
Just the basics
Diet fads ~
It will fix
gut/brain axis
labour and taxes
bread bred to roll over
feds fed to rule over
you are what you eat
to tender and bleat
fulfilling craving plight
festive midst color bright
filled with nutrients delight
fruits along sweet blends aright
flavorful creamy cheesy bite
fun treat toward diet height
finding us thank God* for pleasant sight
feeding well our hearty appetite...
fruity salad of healthy flight
*1Thessalonians 5:18 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Okay, I know what you are thinking
I should not even think about it
But damn it looks so good
You know I have been on a diet
Well, I know it too
But I am really hungry
And it looks very very tempting
Maybe just this once I will scarf it down
Just do not look at me like that
After dieting for one day I think I deserve it

LRET
I have lit my tenth bonfire
since I retired two months ago
this one is gorgeous like the others
a bit different
she is burning all confidential records
of children with 504 plans at my school
no one needs these copies
and I do not want them falling into the wrong hands
my principal has the originals
and I have uploaded all the 504’s into a computer system
I watch two hundred pages go up in smoke
confident they will remain confidential
the bonfire pops and crackles her appreciation
she loves cardboard and paper the best
I have tried to feed her plastic, but that has a horrific smell
So now I keep her on a strict paper diet
No longer will l sin
Treat my temple like a bin
Shoving all and sundry in
So l will bear and grin
Take it on the chin
To be happy in my skin
Be healthy within
No more biscuits from the tin
Against the bulge l will win
Today l will begin
To do and feel better!
A bygone thought
It comes back to
Inspire
It arouses my need
to create and to be
creative
Squatting to do the
Chores of shorter
People
Stretching to do the
work of taller folk
thinking to labor
with scholars
Under thought just to
Understand
resistance training
to bulk up
Feeding the muscle
For endurance
a thought contested
My logic
In the creation of flavor
Might I fine satisfied
Likeded or likened too?exercise
