It may be wrong to love ones food<\/p>\n
to the point of needing new pants<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m not alone in my indulgence as one<\/p>\n
can see in the various sizes of jeans<\/p>\n
Going out for a meal and weighing the cons<\/p>\n
wondering what will this do to my buns<\/p>\n
But I look longingly at the nights offerings<\/p>\n
with more than a little grudge<\/p>\n
Remember the top button<\/p>\n
So I go about my business, ignoring the pleas<\/p>\n
the calling out of sweets and good cheese<\/p>\n
Turning my head from stocked shelves<\/p>\n
of donuts and creams, and fresh baked bread.<\/p>\n
Avoiding the streets with amazing windows<\/p>\n
of chocolates and cookies with marshmallows<\/p>\n
Remember the top button<\/p>\n
As it turns out I\u2019m not safe from windows<\/p>\n
nor signs, nor smells, nor posters<\/p>\n
That promise satisfaction with every bite<\/p>\n
each flavor an utter delight<\/p>\n
They captivated me and lure me<\/p>\n
to places both familiar and new<\/p>\n
So I must stay out of view<\/p>\n
with pockets empty too<\/p>\n
