The supermarket’s not my friend,
For instant meals – that’s the trend.
But quick-fix dinners are taboo
For overweights like me or you.
When I’ve driven to the mart
I choose with care what fills my cart.
I read all labels -- first for fat,
Then salt and carbs; how smart is that?
I bypass all those frozen meals
And shop for health and not for deals.
Very few will meet the test
For health and taste buds, all the rest.
Fresh dairy products are a must
And fish that’s firm and fresh, I trust.
Salad fixings, crisp and green,
Then veggies for my soup tureen.
I’ve vowed to trim my tummy down,
Wear skinny jeans without a frown.
And so I scan each fat-filled aisle
Until I’ve lost my cheerful smile.
Temptations meet my jaded eye.
Mmm, that looks good – strawberry pie.
I hurry past the bakery.
Please hide that stuff is now my plea.
I’d better hit the checkout now
Or I might break my fresh food vow.
But guess what’s there before my eyes;
The candy shelves are no surprise.
A shorter line is now my hope
But no there isn’t one, you dope.
I’ll close my eyes and say a prayer
Those chocolate bars will disappear.
Whew! It’s my turn now, guess I won.
My week of dieting’s been fun.
I’ll stash the food and hit the gym
But not because I care – IT’S HIM!
