The Existential Despair of Diet and Exercise
A banana instead of a bite of cheese
Skipping the butter on ground-acorn toast
The mocking of perfidious calories
One more notch in the belt – feel free to boast!
To the treadmill, now, with your lazy (self)
Off the cliff with those Sisyphean pounds
And a steak for dinner? – just give it a pass
Think yourself skinny, and make hopeful sounds
(Time passes)
A week of denial, now the scales – oh, ****
You lost no pounds; you gained a kilogram!
