Dietary

So there’s this diet that I’m on –
At least, I meant to be –
I’m leery of what I consume
And this is good for me

The only thing that holds me back
Is my myopia;
If I just did the things I thought
I’d have
Me-topia

Common Thoughts #1 – Diet & Exercise

To exercise feels good,
If I can get myself to do it,

And I can eat the things I should,
If I just attend to it.

My problems are all solvable
If I remain involved;

And yet I sit here, still amazed
For none of them are solved

My Favorite Aisle

My favorite aisle at the store
Has chips, and very little more;
Although my fondness there might be
The cause of my enormity

So since it’s my birthday today
Perhaps I’ll find some healthy way
To snack: some other way to smile –
And find a whole new
Favorite
Aisle

A Steady Diet

I wish to be delivered, daily, please
From “scientists” with liberal arts degrees.
They lecture me, at length, about my diet;
And speak when wiser minds might just be quiet.

They’ve never done the daily work of science,
But got it from a book they somewhere read:
And now, they’d cow the whole world to compliance
Engorged, themselves, upon what they’ve been fed.

But there’s no telling them they might be wrong,
They know how all of us can be improved –
It went into them like a sort of song:
It’s in their heads, and now
It can’t be
Moved
