Auntie Lou And Her Diet by Claudy

Auntie Lou says
"no sugar for me just a pinch of artificial sugar in my cup of tea."
she says
"just half a slice
of that lovely cake.
it looks so nice."
so she eats a slice
and another
and another
there's another in the fridge
when she's eaten that she laughs
she says "my clothes don't fit me
any more and and we're of on the bus to the larger ladies' fashion store"
in the coffee shop she says,
i'm back on the diet
no sugar for me
just a pinch of artificial sweetener in my cup of tea
that dress i bought
is on the big side, so while we're here
let's have a pie
and half a slice of that lovely cake
it looks so nice."
