Ode to WLS by Phoenix Kone'
Sitting in my room bored and tired,
I think of the food I could eat.
But then I start to feel wired,
This craving I know I can beat!
Forget thoughts of sugar plums in my head;
I know what I would rather consume.
A big pile of chocolate pudding instead;
Then my diet can resume.
So I go to the fridge and open the door,
Inside there is the bowl I crave.
Whew! Now I want it even more;
To food I am a slave.
As my hand reaches for the snack,
I notice something jiggled.
Was that just a jello pack?
No! it was my arms that wiggled!
I took a step back and realized what I was doing;
Thank God I stopped in time!
I felt like a cow and started mooing;
Maybe I should just suck on a lime...
I went back to my couch,
or should I say my second home.
When I sat I noticed a pouch,
So I got up and began to roam.
Out the front door I went,
and down my stairs I flew.
On food, all my money was spent,
So I knew what I had to do.
I tried all the diets out there,
including The Atkins Diet,
But never was I spared,
from hearing "Oh just try it!"
My next step was to call a doctor,
and find out what was best for me.
I think I found my answer;
Weight Loss Surgery!
So off to the surgeon's I went,
to begin the tests and bloodwork galore,
Oh how the money I spent;
Will give me everything I want and more!
Now the date is set;
I'm about to change my life.
At first I just sat and wept;
"GULP!" I was going under the knife!
Upon thinking for some time,
I realized this was the only way.
I paid every last dime;
To change my life that day.
So began the protein shakes and small meals,
and please no sugar for me.
The "practice diet" they call it;
Feels more like Weigh****chers indeed!
Okay so it's not that bad,
I just dramatize it in my head.
With all the food that I've had,
I think I have been overfed.
Eating six times a day?
Could this be right?
"Smaller meals" they say;
Oh, now I see the light!
Preparing myself for surgery,
whew! it's sure been hard.
and this is just the beginning for me,
The real journey is just about to start...
Hope you guys enjoy this, I was bored and thought it might make someone smile.
