Following on from the discussions in Rossi's 'Forgive me for I have sinned' thread, I wrote this poem...
Forgive me, for I have sinned,
And I’m being a bad diabetic!
All those low GI diets have gone in the bin,
And I’m not being very energetic!
I had breakfast of honey on toast,
Bacon butties that were dripping with fat,
And the bread was all white – yes, I know that’s not right,
But I don’t give a hoot about that!
For my lunch I had eggs that were fried,
And a panful of chips cooked in lard!
And I sprinkled on salt and I know it’s my fault
It will make all my arteries hard!
At my side I have biscuits and cake
Which I’ll eat in the course of the day,
And I fancy a beer (which I know I should fear!)
So tomorrow I’ll probably pay!
This suggestion of five veg and fruit
Is one I intend to ignore!
All that goodness should suit, that I wouldn’t dispute
But I fancy a chocolate bar more!
So, it’s pork pies this evening for me,
With a liberal dollop of sauce!
All that saturated fat – I won’t care about that,
I’m a bad diabetic – no remorse!
