Poetry challenge day 4: We’re supposed to take a song title, change one word, and make the new title that of our poem. So, in true ’80s fashion—because I’ve been in an ’80s mood since watching the amazing Cobra Kai!—I chose “Welcome To The Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses. Rock on, baby!!
Welcome To The Carbo Load
Goldfish, Doritos, onion rings
Pastas, breads, and carb-y things
Mac n cheese, grilled ham n cheese
Hotdogs, taquitos, ketchup squeeze
Chocolates, s’mores, brownie dips
Cinnamon rolls, gum, and creams of whip
Cupcakes, ice cream, lollipops
Fruit snacks, marshmallows, minty drops
Chicken soup and tikka masala
No veggies in either or she may holla
What a list, oh what a diet
I beg and plead with her, just try it!
No veggies, fruits, barely even apples
Oh, won’t you please just try a sample!
I hope one day her tastes will change
And she’ll discover a culinary range
She’ll leave her carbs so far behind
And give her momma peace of mind
But until then, I’ll wait and see
I’m done, please Calgon, set me free
My talented friend! This made me laugh and want to eat all of those things you talk about in your poem. Bad timing as im trying to lose weight!! 😄
Thank you, girl, always happy to bring a smile to your face! Appreciate you reading and commenting. 🙂
