A little more meat and mustard
And go easy with the custard
All these years of living lean
Have helped me to appreciate
That I must not inflate

Have given up ice cream, soda, cake and pastry for 8 weeks. I have lost 2 stinking pounds. You hear me, just 2 stinking pounds. So this morning I am buying 6 pecan pies, 9 apple pies, 2 gallons of Belgian chocolate ice cream, a gallon of chocolate chip and a gallon of pistachio. Then it’s 16 pounds of macaroni and 15 pounds of assorted sandwich meats.

Oh no, Carl, you’ll undo all the good work. 2 ‘stinking’ pounds equals 4 kilos. Half a kilo a week for 8 weeks is very good going. I hope you’re just joking, my friend… I’m rooting for you!

Living in wartime rationed Britain made people lean, Denise, and many of them (including me!) retained the habit of spare eating.
Nice poem.

Thanks, John. That is an excellent habit to have adopted, especially when one sees overweight people everywhere these days. The only people smiling are the doctors!
