Interlude on Food
Don’t tell me that eating food’s an addiction
You will add to today’s friction - and fiction
I eat to live and I live to eat -
But the internet says give up chocolate and meat
Why am I so obsessed with food?
Because food does me good and improves my mood
When I am late or in a bad state
I can cheer myself up with a big box of chocolate
I like two big portions of roast potato
Can I compensate with one sundried tomato?
I love spuds baked, mashed, chipped or sauté
Give me potatoes, any way, every day
Alas, the weighing machine’s news is sad
It tells me the truth and I am not glad
That ice cream and chocolates will bring me more sorrow
If I leave my diet, again, ‘til tomorrow.
