Diet

Eat less fat? Well, sure I know that!

And honestly Doc, I have tried.

But veg is much better with butter and batter

And salad’s much nicer deep fried.

 

Cut down on salt? That’s not my fault!

I don’t let the stuff past my lips!

But my hand does this thing that I don’t understand,

And in pops a whole bag of chips.

 

Eat much more fruit? I cannot refute

That it’s healthy; I know what you mean.

But I get five a day in my own special way,

As chocolate is surely a bean.

 

Sugar? I shudder to think of the stuff!

I never eat anything sweet!

But maybe I’ll risk it for just ten small biscuits

They are, after all, just a treat.
