    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"

    Some things are not always as delicious as they look. What is feast for the eyes, the body can sometimes reject.

    I'm trying to not "gobble calories" these days, too. Why is it always so much easier to put the weight on than to lose it? Not fair.

    The taste depends on our hunger and the time of eating. A good read.

    Empathy to those on restricted diets...I thought, and then remembered that most people believe I'm on a fairly strict one. It doesn't feel that way to me. I choose to eat things I have a reasonable hope of being able to digest (and then some fool sprays poison into the air and makes me sick anyway).
