There is nothing more satisfying
Than when told that supper’s on
Pulling up to a heavily laden table
And then eating until it’s all gone
Pile it high is what always we do
And then do it all over again
Then we wonder why we suffer
Having a bellyache you can depend
Reality! one of life’s few pleasures
Has to do with your mouth
Whether it’s New England Clam Chowder
Or Fried Chicken from the South
By looking at our bulging waistlines
You can tell, we’ve been pleasured well
Serving portion sizes have increased
Observing our plates you can tell
The next time you eat some cookies
Had your fourth soda that day
And find you can’t see your feet
Because your belly is in the way
You had better sew your mouth shut
Not eat for at least a week
Because if you continue as always
Your future is looking rather bleak!
