food is a b***h

i had a crush on food

i was loyal too,

but the food was a playboy 

he had dates on all tables

promising everyone the betrothing fables

i sacrificed my flat tummy

and i cuddled him calling  he is seductively yummy

but, his bisexual orientation was a shock

his fling with sumo wrestlers was now caught

i broke down into tears 

whenever he called me fat 

and this went on for years

i confronted him and fought

his shallow remark did not leave me in any doubt

he said i never told you to devour me

like a lusty s**t

the breakup was harsh

the nights were long

and the temptation was still strong

but

now i have moved on

singing a new song

i found love again

gym is my new spouse

he wiped the tears 

of my body

now i am fit and fab 

i say it loudly

Hi Sakshi! You got it right again! I have also been singing this lament recently, what with my love for devouring a couple of plates of barbequed chicken every other day. Glad to know you could dictch the crooked lover for a new and more sensible one. Now it's my turn.

Kudos on this clever and fun read!

This is pretty funny but it has a dark side to it too. My X wife had a history of eating disorder and this is like some of her food crazed thinking. It was as maddening as it was baffling to me
