This lass is so susceptible to things that are suggestible
She's easily persuaded and so can be degraded
She has to be more clever than slow but shallow river
Whose words are tempting sweet and good enough to eat:
Crisp veggies, fresh fruit, and pure water for me,
Black coffee, fruit spritzers, and hot or iced tea
With lemon --but hold off the sweetener for sure
You see, like my mind, so my body craves pure
There’s lettuce and spinach and broccoli to eat
And collards with pintos, a real special treat
Even when temptinger food thoughts invade
Tomatoes and eggplant will serve as nightshade
Avoiding white taters and rice bleached too light
And flour that missed being whole's just not right!
Whole grains are my savior and mean complex carbs
That satisfy cravings when stress makes life hard
But food’s not the only thing making it fine
There’s exercise: good for both body and mind
A walk in the park at lunch just ‘fore noon
A brisk a.m. jog made while humming a tune
Then care for the horses when work day is done
Hay them and grain them, get good muscle tone
Then walk them around on their leads to keep fit
In spirit and image and then see to it
That life affords more than I possibly gain
When I treat my body with total disdain
Yet no matter how hard I work or how clean
I keep my regime, I know, it’s a scream
That though you won’t find me at rest on my rump
The best I can hope for? Pleasingly plump!
