Life's Just Too Short To Diet...
Ladies, we have all been there..when that snazzy little black dress is just a shade too tight, and there are bulges where there shouldn't be.....Diets, love 'em or hate 'em, they are a constant reminder of what we should look like to conform..
I need to find a diet,
that will make oh so trim,
but one I can exist on,
and please, not one that gives me wind!
I want it to be tasty,
is that asking oh so much?
I want just what I fancy..
Not something from a rabbit hutch!
Just a gastronomic nibble,
that would make me salivate..
Yet one to melt the pounds away,
help remove excessive weight..
I'm not asking to be stick thin,
that just wouldn't be the same..
Think of the risk that I could take,
when walking past a drain?
In fact it could be dodgy,
all the dangers I could fear..
If I became a minus Nought,
I might well disappear..!
I can't be a Supermodel,
My lines so sleek and trim,
I'm more like a really comfy drive,
if you should climb within..
Who wants to be a clothe horse?
A skeletal walking rack?
No not for me, not Songbird B,
as I rather like my stack..
The more I'm thinking 'bout this..
The more I understand..
You kind of love my comfy bits,
so I shall stay the way I am!
I'll never see size 8 again,
and that can't be denied..
But it's not what's on the exterior,
but who you are deep down inside..
So just ignore my plaintive plea..
Didn't mean to start a riot..
What's that? A tasty Steak and mash?
Hell! Life's just too short to diet!
