life without cake

A stall....ok...now what... my life is *
Can you expect to live without your sweets?
Or do we have to chose a better way?
There's almost always something we can do.


It would not be so bad to give them up.
Because I know it's only for a day.
And yet I want to add - it isn't "fair."
I want to have my cake - and eat it, too!


I walk and run and jog and trot and bounce.
I skimp and save and measure every bite.
It bothers me I never lose an ounce
I still believe that Dr A was right!


The pounds I lose this month before my trip
Are pounds already lost before by me.
I have to lose them twice by now - it seems...
Before my blubber butt goes out to sea!


And so I tread upon my mill of tread.
And send all carbs away from whence they came.
And face my life without the dread of bread
That I never really liked anyways... but still...
