Sitting in the pizza house
Dipping in my bread
To a pot olive oil
and vinegar that's red
A thought I've never thought before
Emerges in my brain
It fills me up with guilt about
All the weight I'll gain
My cellulite will double
If I order extra cheese
and my thighs will grow to such a size
They'll over hang my knees
If I order peperoni
It will fill my veins with death
not to mention all the garlic
which will linger on my breath
The yeast that's in the bread I hold
will climb into my pores
a breeding ground candida fest
Invading me with spores.
I think I've lost my appetite
I'm feeling rather blue
Oh fuck it, I'll just stuff my face
Then puke it in the loo!

I usually like your poetry Punchy, but am a bit alarmed to read what you have written here. Firstly, you should never think that good Italian cooking will cause you to put on weight. I have spent many holidays with Italian friends and had a lot of Italian cooking. Unless you are regularly overeating, you won't put on weight because their cooking is very healthy. Secondly, I expect you are quite slim. Don't even suggest what you've said to children.
I think a far better ending to your poem should be:
But for now I will enjoy my feast
With no thoughts of tomorrow.
Today’s a day to be enjoyed
With little thoughts of sorrow.
We're brain washed today with all this talk of weight. If you eat good fresh cooking, in moderate amounts, with lots of healthy exercise, there is no reason why you shouldn't have a treat - and Italian cooking is a real treat.

This made me laugh, Punchy.
Perhaps not PC - and I'm sure you'd never recommend puking to children - but anything that raises a smile has to be well worth a read.
(I do have a baser sense of humour than some.)
Phil.
PS: What's that quote? - Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow.... - or have I just made that up? |

This made me laugh too.
Only if it was me I'd just end at
'Oh fuck it, I just stuff my face'
That's what normally happens! (just started a diet today)

A nice take on a quite ordinary subject, You obviously have a very good imagination. A good fun verse to brighten up a winters day ! I enjoyed reading.
All the best

It made me smile and so achieved your goal, I too love Italy and Italian food.

Hm, hm... Somehow I noticed that the best way to lose weight is simply to know when you have had enough, and a lot of physical exercise of course. Helped me get to rid of 10kg in the last four or five months.
Fun poem, but the solution was a bit of a sad one... Puking in the loo. Sounds a bit like an eating disorder... |

I thought it quite clever and comical and certainly didn't take it seriously. Why waste all that money?
Have to confess, I don't like pizza. Am I alone in this? |
