If Calories Could Only Talk

If calories could only talk Or scream before my lips Would dare to pinch and swallow them And slither to my hips Then maybe I could conquer such The femme-fatale-la-foe That’s every woman's ‘adversare’ Yes, every female’s woe                        How did this monster (Calorie)                      Sneak up, so craft' and cunning ‘Twas only yesterday it seems I looked so trim and stunning   And then one day it happened that I gazed at my reflection And back at me a figure full Attracted my attention             And then as if it came to life          The image echoed back And said, “It’s time to start anew And go on the attack!”   “No more donuts in the morn Or ice cream in the night No buttered bread, no frosted cake To spoil your appetite”   “No soda, fries or candy bar No burger on-the-go No hot dog, chips or pizza pie And beer’s a plain 'No-No!'"   I put myself in utter shock When after just a day My calorie withdrawal signs Led straight to the buffet                  The ogre taunted me to cheat                Temptation pulled me on While cravings drew their ugly head Resistance WASN'T strong   And once again I found myself In front of my reflection And she, in turn, said "COMPROMISE Can be your intervention" So "COMPROMISE" I did indeed This daily plan I won't blow-off My favorite diet strategy is... One hour on and one hour off!
