A Glutton's Lament Poem by Dawn Ferrett
A Glutton's Lament
Why did I have that last slice of cake
When I'd already eaten enough?
I'm doubled up now with acute tummy ache
And I'm feeling so horribly rough!
Why, when I'd had much more than my share
Did I wolf down that trifle so quick?
I'd eaten my meal, and the leftovers there.
Now I'm think that I'm gonna be sick!
Why, oh why, did I have treacle tart
With custard piled on inches high!
It feels like my abdomen's coming apart
And I'm sure that I'm going to die! ! !
Was it only last week that I said I would quit:
I'd give up the binge-ing and diet?
Well, I'm going to start now, to get myself fit! !
Yes,
Next week, I'll certainly try it! ! ! !
Lovely, and such a bit of fun. Youngsters don't know what they're missing when they write only love-mush and love-loss. I do so enjoy your poetry. I'll even forgive that eighth line. Adeline
Inspiring, especially as i read this while eating that last slice of cake. I don't think i can wait til next week.
Good luck with that then Dawn - no more cake for you. Good one.
