I came
I came I saw, and I ate
Three steps to a clean plate
Trouble is, it's never that simple
Always a bugger lurking
Not that hungry for food like that
I'm on a diet and this doesn't fit
I suppress a vomit with every bite
I just plain don't like that food
Always a plausible reason for yea or nay
As a tempting the food may look
It doesn't taste that good
Then for some it's "an elegant sufficiency" *
Especially the fancy good tasting stuff
Always we both, each kind, gobble calories

*Note: - I am linked with Rosemary at Friday Writings #132 for her prompting phrase, "an elegant sufficiency"
