I gobbled up things big or puny

Fried fish was savory and crispy

The tail parts were my fancy

I recall childhood gluttony



As a youth I ate like a keen horse;

Feast like a pig with no remorse

I remember being told off

At a meal in a short Bible course



Buffet food I wolfed without bother

Maximum helpings was the mark

Your tummy stretched like rubber

Came the wry remark



I eat what I please-my philosophy

I merely placate my body

I indulge in stuffs delicious

I satisfy bodily urge -Is it malicious



When I got heavier

I soon realize the danger

Diabetes Two warns the doctor

A host of ailments to ponder



Praise God I've lost some weight

After a gruesome regiment

Motivated -snacks I abate

But there’s room for improvement



Once as an usher I served

in lumbered a fat man slowly

minutes before the meeting ended

but to the table he trudged swiftly



He swallowed his food fast

and queued up for more

Free food and drinks he’d spoor

Waddling off, fully fit to burst



To eat voraciously is edacity

An uneven distribution, indeed

Sin against the body and humanity

It denies the food others most need



Food mountains make me angry

resting on plates and dumped away

Think of the millions that are hungry

The young and the elderly-What’s gone astray



Someone's thirsty

do you provide him with water

She's naked and hungry

do you clothe and feed her



On Judgment Day Jesus says

As you do this to the least

You do it to Me-He reveals His ways

Sobering thoughts, mustn't be dismissed
