Un-Diet

No matter how much food I eat,

I keep on getting thinner.

I slim down with each little treat,

Each breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I ate a brownie yesterday,

And now my belt is loose.

Ten pounds of fat fell clean away

From just one chocolate mousse!

My sandwich overflows the bun—

A toothpick would be great.

But when I eat it, I’ll be one!

Oh, what a sticky fate!

And next week is Thanksgiving Day—

You know what that’s about.

If I can’t keep the snacks at bay,

I might turn inside out!
