Goodnight Fun

Somewhere in the pantry

High on a shelf

There were goodies and treats

That I bought for myself.

There were cookies and crackers

And sweets galore

And on the shelf below,

Treats from the liquor store

All of my favorites 

All in one place

My only concern

Was having enough space

But now all those things

Will just gather dust

As I sweat and I swear

And stare at Autumn's bust.

I fear I will be treated

For manic depression

Because today is the day

I start 80 Day Obsession.

Goodbye cookies

And goodbye cakes.

Hello Spinach

And muscles that ache.

Goodbye fries

and onion rings.

Goodbye to all of my favorite things.

Goodbye ice cream

and goodbye beer.

Goodbye to all

Of the things I hold dear

Goodbye Martinis

And scotch on the rocks

Goodbye Old Fashioned

And hello detox

Goodbye lagers

and goodbye stouts

Goodbye IPAs

I cast you all out

Should I survive

The entire program

I shall gaze at my mirror 

And shout…  Goddamn.
