    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"
