Promises

PROMISES


Tomorrows the day I will slim
I promise it isn’t a whim
I’m really emphatic
Tomorrow I’ll crack it
Tomorrow’s the day I’ll get thin

You and I both know what it means
A lifestyle of yoghurt and beans
We both promised to try it, and stick to a diet
Get back to the shape of our teens

I’ll throw out the bacon and lard
Once we’ve started it won’t be so hard
You know there’s always a drawback
When you change to a new tack
It’s worse if you start to get bored

I’ll introduce new foreign fare
I’ll serve it with dash and with flair
Courgettes, aubergines and masses of greens
Laid out in my best Tupperware

I’m so glad you’ve tried Soya with me
And that fibre we got through at tea
It all helps conservation
Cuts out constipation
And we know what a gas that can be

Well I take it you’re not satisfied
With this new healthy lifestyle we’ve tried
Well OK I’ll concede and the next time we feed
Our bacon and eggs will be fried

‘Course instead we could cut down on drink
With weight problems they say there’s a link
Without all that booze
Just think what we’d lose
Pass the biscuits and let’s have a think!
