FORBIDDEN FAVORITE FOODS

(Mostly as Haiku)

Diet swords crossed

Winning control of his fare…

Far-reaching food fight!

–

Super-Special sub,

Three meats, lettuce and cheese…

Scrumptiously okay!

–

Still  buying candy,

Pretzels for a rainy day…

Edema won’t leave!

–

Low-salt, high fiber

Candy bars masquerading…

Wise ones watch labels!

–

Complimentary,

Small portions of chips…

Regular soda!

–

Convenience kills,

Easily lost is control…

Salt and sugar win!

–

Eating half only,

Sandwiches enjoyed longer….

Maybe wife gets some!

–

Meatloaf and gravy, rare,

Mass. Turnpike revelation…

Suddenly set right!

–

Candy corn for kids,

Bag closed carefully between…

Cheating doesn’t help!

–

Diabetic mood

Carbohydrate-tidal force…

Glucose levels swing!
