Languid Afternoons

We sit sipping coffee, after a hearty meal

It was Caeser salad, as usual, for lunch

We are watching weight!

And that’s the crunch

Unmindful, however, of dollops of mayo

And strips of cheese!

The lettuce smothered, and heaved a sigh!

Eat up all without blinking an eye

But yes, salad it is, for us weight watchers

 Unmindful of its bland taste

And the ambiance that was rendered waste;

For, between the forkfuls

The gossip ran smooth.

Salad tackled, we look for more

Ahh!  The Pizza must be made of whole wheat flour

We are watching weight, after all.

The waiter takes a note for extra cheese

Let me forget the calories for once,oh please!

Nachos and cheese, on the table next,

Look just as tempting as the rest

Corn flour is healthy, and it's baked too

Then why should I resist it and, why should you

Live for today, eat well, I  tell my craving heart

It will just take an extra lap in the park
