Willpower

Willpower

Well! I’ve just gone on this diet,
And I’m about to crack!
I’m feeling rather peckish,
I think I’ll have a snack.

My tummy’s performing, A Night At The Proms!
I really do fancy some nice buttered scones.
I feel optimistic, like Old Mother Hubbard,
I think I’ll just take a quick peep in the cupboard.

I open the door and I’m faced with Ryvitas!
My insides by now, are jumping by metres!
Its been going so good, and I’m well on course,
I head for the fridge, as I’ve just had a thought.
I think I’ll try out those new yoghurts I bought!

Now where did I put them? I say to myself,
Oh! There they are! Right on the bottom shelf!
I check the container, that’s next to the veg,
And low and behold, there’s a Cadbury’s Cream Egg!

My conscience is telling me No! No! No!
But my heart is telling me Go! Go! Go!
I know if I eat it, I’ll live to regret it,
It won’t get the better! I really won’t let it!

And as I sit back in my comfy chair,
There’s nothing like this that can compare.
The chocolate tastes dreamy! The filling so creamy!
There’s only one thing now,  that’s left to say,
Oh Well! Tomorrow’s another day!
