It must be awful
to be so thin
That you have to eat lots
over and over again.
They say metabolism
is your secret weapon;
But I want to know,
How does it happen?
You can eat ice-cream
bowl after bowl,
loaded off with toppings
delicious and cold.
You can eat cake,
two pieces of pie,
piled with whipped cream;
full of calories high.
Your waistline stays trim,
Your cholesterol low,
no matter how idle,
or how old you grow.
So please tell me, Why,
When I eat like a cat,
my lipids go up,
and my body gets fat.
The doctor said, "No stress at all,
And cut out all Cholesterol;
Exercise to trim the waist,
No more fats or foods with taste."
That may not sound so hard to do,
But It's no fun, I'm telling you.
You're allowed 65 daily grams of fat,
But one good meal takes care of that.
Two eggs, sausage, biscuits , and grits
And a mid-morning SNICKER®
makes 72 hits;
Lunch at the Colonels with two pieces
fried
potatoes & gravy and slaw on the side;
Make fats at 117 grams the winner,
And I haven't even had my dinner.
A ChocolateShake on the way home,
Adds 8 grams more before dinner gets done.
The 6 oz. Serloin, Potato with fixings,
And a Salad with Dressing has
played the dickens;
Making a total of 185 grams of fat,
And a pre-bed snack adds to that.
But I've solved the problems, am cutting the
fat,
for a healthy life is where it's at;
Just reading the cookbook throws me in rages,
So I'm foregoing the food and eating the pages.
