All that is bad
Is not forbidden
And the forbidden
Can be forgivable
It's about my pleasure
Guilt-free and light-hearted
So yes to mayonnaise
And no, I will not change
French fries to
Side salad.
What isn't ideal
Can often be desired
And the desire can
Out-weigh the risk
So sure I'll take the whipped cream
Cinnamon dusting
Full fat milk
In my latte
What you deprive
Will thrive in the shadows
Itch your spine
Irritate your tongue
Bigger the denial
The higher the fall
From epicurean heaven
So smile and pay
50 cents extra for the bacon
On your quarter-pounder with cheese
Wink when someone
Offers hot fudge in your
Sundae
And squeak in approval
When the last slice
Comes to you!
Because just because it's
Not good
Doesn't mean you can't enjoy
Its greatness!!
Xo,
The Girl
