Food For Thought

Pancakes, Waffles, Eggs Benedict... When I look at the menu I am in conflict. But breakfast menus are so hard to take, As sometimes I just want something that's baked. A Pecan Roll would be nice right now, Whoever came up with that idea, anyhow? And of course there's the bacon, ham, sausage and the like, That's the word I have for all of them...just what I "LIKE". Oh, I love to eat and have a good time to be sure, That's what made my body so hard to cure. Those extra helpings and side dishes all, Have put the pounds on, even though I am tall. And try to get rid of them..."Oh, give me a break". As I look at the Fruit Plate that I am tempted to take. But the menus have no place for a disciplined face, As line by line, I read them and taste. Succulent foods are what I crave, Looking at a menu, I have to behave. Because I could eat a lot with my eyes you see, Room in my stomach, there just wouldn't be. So I choose carefully when ordering my food, I want something tasty, satisfying, and good. And when I am full I will venture to make, That little gesture...about the "Doggy Bag" I'll take. Oh, I shouldn't have stated my love of food with such hope, Because I'll have only words to eat...here on the Soup!
