Some of you may know that I have been trying to lose weight since January by exercising and eating healthy. So far, I’ve lost 57 pounds! Whoo-hoo! Only 15 pounds to goal weight. The whole healthy eating thing has gotten easier, but I still miss some of my favorite foods like corndogs, chicken nuggets, and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches (what can I say, I have the taste buds of a 5 year old). But my all-time favorite thing to eat has been the hardest to go without. Of course, it’s Little Debbie Snack Cakes. So I wrote a poem about them to express my grief, hoping it will eleviate some of the pain.
Ode to Little Debbie Snack Cakes
Oh Little Debbie,
How I miss you so,
Not having thee in my life
Has caused me great woe.
Your cakes are so sweet
They make me salivate,
I could eat a whole box
But alas, it’s too late.
For thy cakey goodness
Has gone straight to my gut,
It’s made me grow exponentially
Especially in my butt.
So I must give you up now
As much as it pains me,
You’re not good for me at all
Oh, can’t you see?
Maybe I could have thou
Every once in awhile,
For a Swiss Cake Roll
Will always fit my style.
