I eat a balanced diet, <br />I do it day and night— <br />a pound of brownies on my left, <br />a pound upon my right. <br /> <br />And filling up my right hand, <br />with clear and certain heft, <br />a twelve-ounce bag of jellybeans. <br />The same is on my left. <br /> <br />A candy cane in one hand, <br />and likewise in the other. <br />There are equal sweets on either side, <br />a big frown from my mother. <br /> <br />I eat a balanced diet, <br />but mother disagrees. <br />I just don’t understand it. <br />She’s so darned hard to please!<br /><br />jake redfern<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-balanced-diet/
