To Eat or Not To Eat

Food holds me by the throat

While others seem to gloat.

There are all kinds of good things

That holds me by a string.

The refrigerator needs a lock

To keep me out of stock.

There is an awful urge,

And I again will indulge.

The pounds begin to show

As the buns begin to grow.

I feel like a big fool

With a fork for a tool.

The little thin lady over there

Seems to never have to care.

While my diet never works

No matter how much I go to church.

The food looks so good to eat

I just want another little treat.

Can't you see I have failed

I am in a big old jail.

The pains in my middle section

will not say, "Food rejection."

My mind is playing games

I hardly know my name.

When the food is sitting there

My mind is in such despair.

What can I eat ~

What little treat?
