Her voice spends the entire day in my head <br />telling me what I should know about the evils <br />of mayonnaise and bacon without mention of <br />the many benefits of lettuce and tomato.... <br />Schooling me on the empty carbs and calories <br />contained in these burgers and beer <br />never noting that I most always skip dessert..... <br />Her voice is constantly in my head as with each bite <br />she takes another pound off my ass <br />nagging me to exercise and go for a walk <br />she weighs my consumption with triple beams <br />precisely and then distributes them to charities <br />where little children with their faces covered in flies <br />will most likely die as a result of my starvation.... <br />Her voice spent the entire day in my head today <br />confirmation of her love for me with or without <br />the obesities of my maleness...... <br /> <br />2007 © Ted Sheridan<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-wants-me-to-live-long-enough-to-die-healthy/
