My Favorite Things
(or, Shapely to Shapeless in 5 easy decades)
by Amy Kenneley

PayDays and Baby Ruths,
M&M's, Reeses,
Trick or Treat candies all
wrapped in small pieces.
Anything chocolate is what I adore,
Devil's Food, brownies and truffles galore!

Popcorn at movies with
butter all runny,
Double-sized Cokes in the
park when it's sunny,
Barbequed wings I can eat, no remorse-
pizza and beer at the half-time, of course!

Ice cream is any time,
cold or hot weather-
licking cake frosting-can
life get much better?

Don't forget pies, any place, any time-
there's not a treat I can't eat or can't rhyme!

No excuses! no reduces! Turnaround's too late.
Just take out the goodies from
cupboard and fridge and.. hand me a plate!
