So let us trudge along
gulping mega fudge
trying hum freedom’s song:
‘Mustn’t ourselves begrudge!’
while mired in deep despair
not going anywhere
Over diverse diets
getting ourselves mesmerized
Emotions run riots
by repeat failure chastised
Such is life in consumer cultures
where nothing is ‘overdoing’
while life as insatiable vultures
clearly assures our undoing
Takes so much more for us to lose weight
than by what we don’t serve on our plate
