Pick me Up!

I have a guilty secret and I am not sure if I should tell you

Confess as a health and fitness guru what naughty things I get up to

If I come clean and tell you of my weakness will you also tell me yours

Then we can share in a an after dinner tale that exposes all of our flaws

After eating a healthy meal of organic salad I feel so pious and good

I then sneak off to the pantry and befriend some wicked and tasty pud

It could be a sherry trifle with lashings of cream upon the top

That makes me feel quite tipsy and merry if I have the lot

Or perhaps a spotted dick with lashings of custard running down the side

Oh my feelings of unadulterated desire and yearning I simply cannot hide

Then there is rice pudding with a giant blob of strawberry jam

That quite easily shows me up, for the pudding freak I am

Arctic roll is ice cold and I have to secrete it from the freezer

Where I spot the lemon cheese cake such a pretty little teaser

Warmed apple pie with ice -cream seduces me, I can no longer put up a fight

Then there is the fluffy melt in your mouth and most heavenly, angel delight 

Treacle tart is full of even more calories, I daren’t even look

Whereas as lemon meringue pie, I would love to learn to cook

Viva Italia for their delicious and sexy tiramisu

It can ‘pick me up’ any time and stop me feeling blue

Roly poly is what I will be if I continue to be a pudding thief

Perhaps after all I had better stick to a boring lettuce leaf….
