My Healthy Diet

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My friends would ask me daily,

 “How are you feeling today"?

 “I’m great, how about you”? I said,

I was lying all the way.

 

I fed myself a healthy diet,

Grains, greens, high protein food,

Always served in metered amounts;

Quarts of ice cream helped my mood.

 

I stuck to my diet for decades,

My routine was always the same.

Each year this disciplined eater,

Was amazed at how much I’d gain.

 

Even an occasional burger

Had lean meat for my health,

I learned bacon flies under the radar;

Most fat foods arrive stealth.
