revel in the hunger
starve bravely for the golden cause
to be thinner
a hushed secret shrouded in questionable
sanity
blurred focus faithfully waits up
for the slowing but still determined
dieter
just beyond the immediate reach of
the disturbingly tasteless rabbit food
so linger in the candy aisle
only if you dare enough to even pause
for self doubt and chocolate frosted
old attitudes will unite to prepare for
your long now predicted downfall
into absolute stuffed pigdom
a pint of triple chocolate Hagen Daas
freezes patiently in your otherwise
garden weary refrigerator
ready at the first moment's hesitation
on your part or bite your tongue
'weakness' to comfort you and your sorely
bested guilt over having fallen from such
despicable grace and right before the very
eyes of all the small
the beautiful people have won.....
you are Still FAT!.....................
