Fifty percent less fat
Than the regular
With no hydrogenated oils,
Preservatives or cholesterol
Stand out for attention.
Vanilla cake with
Mystery words are out of the mix.

Salt of the sea and sauce of the soy
With red wine, balsamic, and rice vinegar,
Make a splash in my book.
Macaroni of the bleached kind
Is now discriminated against
The dark wheat kind,
And yet some
Wheat Thins really aren't
What they claim.
It all comes down to a label
Because nothing processed
Is something gained.

You delight my senses
And widen my thighs.
You sweeten my days
you crush my pride.
Why is it that I am never
