Once I went to a party
My plate ladened with food
Well I didn't really want
To appear awfully rude

So on went the sausage rolls
Those little vol au vonts
And I've got to admit it
Anything one would want

The pizzas looked just scrummy
And the sarnies were a treat
The quiche looked rather special
And so did the sweet

There were cheesecakes and gateaux
Things oozing with cream
Everything looked delicious
I felt like I could scream

Who cares? I spooned it in
To my over-sized bowl
Everything in large quantities
Some things were whole!

Oh well there's always tomorrow
To start on my slimming quest
I promise that tomorrow
I will do my utmost best

The only problem is you see
Tomorrow never comes
So if I'm not careful
I'll still be eating buns

Just pretend that somebody
Is giving you loadsa dosh
If you lose all your excess weight
And don't eat too much nosh!

Always think about being svelt
Tiny and size eight
And you could always go and buy
A tinsy winsy plate!

Do not despair dear dieter
We all have ups and downs
So if you have a slip up
Don't wear those awful frowns

Brush it off and start again
Turn over a new page
Don't be angry with yourself
Don't fly into a rage

There's quite a lot of poetic license in it

Have a good week readers
