Dieter's Psalm

I found this Dieter’s Psalm, and I revamped it a little to fit my assessment of the situation.  

DIETER'S PSALM

Strict is my diet. I must not want.

It maketh me to lie down at night hungry.

It leadeth me past the candy aisle. 

It trieth my willpower.

It leadeth me in the path of starvation

for my fattened hippy state. 

Yea, though I walk through the aisles

of the pastry department, I will

buy no sweetrolls for they will

fatten thee.

The cakes and the pies, they tempt me.

Carb’s begat carb’s, ye must do without.

Tis the unpardonable sin, thou shalt not let in.

Before me is a table set with green beans 

and lettuce, and spinach for dessert. 

Filleth thy stomach with liquids,

The day's quota runneth oer.

 surely calorie and weight charts will

follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the fear of scales forever.
